Apple to launch the iPhone 'nano' in time for Christmas?

RUMOR - Apple is about to launch a 'nano' version of the hugely successful iPhone. It is expected to be in the shops in time for Christmas.

The product will be launched in the UK at up to £150 for pay-as-you-go customers by O2, the mobile phone group owned by Spain's Telefonica. 'This will be a big one,' said an industry source.

Update: The picture may not be an accurate depiction of what the phone actually is going to look like. Notice the iPhone shuffle to the far right.

This is WILDLY speculative: "The Daily Mailitem suggests that the phone will be available in British shops by Christmas for 150 pounds (just under $300). It doesn’t offer any supporting evidence beyond an unnamed 'industry source' ...The London tabloid, which is better known for celebrity gossip than technology reporting, also cites an 'expert' who suggests the nano phone would have a touch wheel on the back and a display on the front so that numbers would be dialed from behind. Apple filed a patent last year for a device that resembles this, but nothing came of it."

This RUMOR came out LAST YEAR. Please do not publish such rubbish without substantial information. Even the Mac/IPhone rumor mills wont publish this stuff. I can't believe this site has sunk to level of cheap hype. Anyone smart enough to understand marketing and product life will know that after launching a product near the major holidays would not even contemplate eroding their own market by introducing a competing product that could, in a sense, alienate anyone that JUST purchased the iPhone. And with the money and energy garnered by the introduction of the current 3G iPhone, you'd have to be suicidal to introduce yet, another similar product so soon after the products launch. All source point to the Macbook, Macbook Pro, iMac and iPod(s) to be updated soon...not the FRESHLY launched, and highly in-demand iPhone 3G. Get your facts straight, and solid, before feeding into the gossip trail and offer us REAL factual Deals.

Thanks for the input guys! I need to create a category for consumer product rumors. Also, I will be sure to convey a message that a post of this nature is ONLY a rumor and not based on fact. Consumer product rumors defiantly appeal to the masses, but should be labeled more correctly and clearly.
