New Idea Of Iphone Based On A Nano

Even though the Iphone has not even been out 6 months without people wondering what next clever invention Apple will cook up, one of these inventions will include another Iphone except with a new twist this will include the Features of an Ipod Nano. Also JP Morgan, a financial servies firm have released a report that states this will be a cheaper form of the Iphone which is based on the ultra slim ipod Nano also the Firms analyst Kevin Chang has said that people will be confused as to where they have placed their new phone, he based this on the US Patent And Trademark Office and unnamed sources in the supply channel.Reuters reports that according to the patent application, the device is a multifunctional handheld device that uses a circular touch pad control, similar to the Nano’s scroll wheel. Mr Chang also was qouted as saying “We believe that 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,”, this sounds like a very good idea which will make sure the nano doesnt fade away.Despite the iPhone’s touch screen being a major draw to the device, JP Morgan theorizes that a relatively low-priced nano-phone could draw sales of 30 to 40 million units in 2008.The report joins the gathering storm of second-gen iPhone speculation and persiflage that’s sure to keep Apple fans talking until the very moment Steve Jobs pulls the second coming of the Jesus Phone out of his pocket at a press event

Amazing ‘tunnel house’

This house is the result of two artists Dan Havel and Dean Ruck’s work before it was about to be demolished. The house in Houston looks almost like it’s been speared and has a tunnel large enough to fit a person from the front to the rear.

Another day, another iPhone rumour

Speculation was rife this week that O2 was about to sign a deal for UK distribution of the hypefest which is the Apple iPhone, though on Monday it seemed that Vodafone would be getting the deal, and prior to that those in the know were saying Carphone Warehouse was a dead cert.

Make no mistake; Apple will be talking to all those people, as well as the other operators, and indeed anyone who will listen to their pitch that previous business models are dead, and the iPhone represents the future. Read the rest of this entry »

iPhone flops on eBay

In an early sign that perhaps the debut of Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) much-anticipated iPhone might not have been as big of a hit as it was cracked up to be, sales of the phone on eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) have been disappointing for the entrepreneurs who waited in long lines hoping to cash in on the hype. Many sellers are breaking even or even losing money on their attempts to sell the phone on eBay.

But maybe this is actually a good sign. Overwhelming demand leading to huge windfalls for resellers would indicate that Apple was unprepared — After all, Apple gains nothing when its products are resold at huge mark-ups on the secondary market. According to the New York Times:

    Demand for the phone was remarkably strong in the first days. Analysts estimate that Apple and AT&T stores have sold around 500,000 phones so far. One analyst ventured a guess as high as 700,000. But Apple appears to have anticipated demand and contracted with manufacturers in Asia to build far more. Apple has said it expects to sell as many as 10 million phones by the end of 2008.

Of course, the adequate supply at the retail level may rob Apple of the hype element of phones being resold on eBay.
