Iphone Nano and a Netbook: Apple’s next success stories?
Almost every product Apple launches is a success story. Although it does not reach market domination worldwide, it really owns in the US and brings Apple lots of lots of funds in their pockets. That was the case for the iPhone, iMac, Apple Mini, iPod Touch, etc. All good products (not extraordinary though), based on looks and simplicity. But all overpriced and with a coupe of important lacks in features.
This year, rumours say Apple will launch the iPhone Nano and a small laptop that would enter the netbooks market. Let’s see what we already know about these two.
First of all, the iPhone Nano will be a smaller version of the iPhone, as the name suggests. How small though? It is said it will only be as big as the current iPhone’s screen, as you can see in the picture bellow. That means it would have a weird height/width proportion. Is it just me, or does it look too wide? I will prefer something slimmer. Perhaps a little bit taller, but way less wider. Not sure about the price, but you can always get refurbished ipods for better prices .
On the other hand, it is said that this Apple iPhone Nano will have all the important functions of it’s bigger brother. So, miniaturization with keeping al the functions will be translated in an increased price? That’s the question that really bothers me, but i do hope Apple will revise their policy rates, especially in this times of crisis.
And speaking of prices, Apple will also enter the netbooks segment. Good choice of course, considering how fast is this industry growing, but kind of ironic: Apple, a producer with high prices, entering the so called low price laptop market. Although, I’m almost sure this new Apple netbook won’t be cheap at all. Cause, according to the rumours, it will be more like a Tablet-pc netbook: a mini laptop with a touch screen. And that could be something.
Of course, all these are just speculations now. The iPhone Nano part is, i believe, at least 90% true. Just look where does www.iphonenano.com lead 
. As for the netbook, we’ll just wait and see. There are two big Mac-World and June and September if I’m not mistaken, so stay tuned for more news 
Of course all of these new products are going to be expensive. But in my opinion that people are going to find away to purchase them because of how cool and unique they are.
Technology is growing at such a rapid pace that it makes your head spin. For us in the older age groups, it’s mind boggling, as soon as we figure one new product here comes another one.
