Will There Be A NanoPhone For Christmas?
07.10.07 - 01:24pm
Apple never seems to be one to let the press die down for a minute, thus just days after the super successful launch of the most hyped device ever, word is leaking about about the possibilities of a new iPhone - this time a Nano-like iPhone.
JP Morgan’s Kevin Change is expecting Apple to launch the NanoPhone in the fourth quarter of 2007 based on a patent filed by Apple.
“Putting all the information together, we believe there’s a strong sign that Apple will come out with a second phone that will replace iPod Nano,” Chang wrote in a client note. “IPod Nano will be converted into a phone because it’s probably the only way for Apple to launch a lower end phone without severely cannibalizing iPod Nano.”
The patent shows figures demonstrating how to dial a phone number with a scroll wheel. Chang expects it to have limited functions keeping it aimed at younger customers.
“We believe it’s a strong sign that Apple could potentially convert every iPod Nano into a Nano phone,” Chang wrote.
No surprise, but Apple spokespeople have declined to comment.
