iPhone nano in the works?

The iPod nano is a no-frills digital audio player, so it makes perfect sense for Apple to come up with a dumbed down version of the iPhone that includes basic nano functions. This is a possibility considering how Apple filed a patent recently, indicating a "touchpad with symbols-based mode". The patent describes a simple touchpad that uses different symbols to represent different modes which can be selected to access various modes. Surely the iPhone nano does not video, and will probably appeal to those who are looking for a simple MP3 player embedded into a cellphone. Then again, there're already tons of handsets out there that does MP3s pretty well, especially Sony Ericsson's Walkman range. Would you get the iPhone nano if it was ever realized?

I think I'll wait for the iPhone Shuffle. It’ll randomly call numbers from my Address Book.

This is unsubstantiated rumor and speculation of the weakest sort. There is no connection between this patent and a phone of any sort. How about just a new Nano with no phone functionality? Duh?

I suspect the low end crowd would be happy with an iPhone with fewer functions... my son is 18 he want the current one, so deoes my 11 year old... but for $350 vs. $500 she'd likely just get the "dumbed down" version as you call it.

You don't quite have the correct meaning of the term to "dumb down".
But in any case... I don't think Apple will waste their time with a simple music player phone. I would expect similar features to the full iPhone, sans video and web browsing, maybe?
