Apple's iPhone launch caused a wave of excitement that even now refuses to die down. The company is now planning to ride on this with a "clamshell iPhone". Yes, "clamshell iPhone" which will be smaller -- likely half the size of the iPhone, but will take a couple of years to go to market.
A touch-screen patent first filed by Apple in the US in September 2006 has given birth to this speculation about Apple mulling a "clamshell iPhone". The patent application, which has been newly disclosed, contains illustrated features including a transparent dual-sided touch-sensitive trackpad cover; meaning the top of the iPhone is covered with a transparent touch panel which when opened reveals an also touch-sensitive inner side.
It also appears from the patent that the "clamshell iPhone" will enable users write in numbers and letters using their fingers. Meanwhile, the patent doesn't talk about any keyboard though it does imply that sensitive controls could be used to create a virtual keyboard.

The Apple iPhone has been available for less than a month, but already there are indications of a second-generation iPhone in the works. Taiwan's Wintek has been given touch-screen panel orders for this iPhone, according to reports published by Taiwan's Commercial Times.
The pricing? Apparently between US $249 and $299. While all these are still rumors, it will be interesting to see if the thing actually materializes. The current form-factor of the iPhone is not bad - it's easy on the eye and does not feel overly bulky in your hand.
Would this, in fact, turn out to be the iPhone nano that we keep hearing about? Time will tell. At least there's time till September.

I'm confused because the first and second pic show completely different phones (the screen on the second is itty bitty!), but either way I think I like my current larger screen better.
the pics are obviously photo shopped and badly, at that i might say.
keep in mind, everything is still speculation. possibly every pic of the next iPhone will be a fake, as everyone is trying to get attention to their site.
yes including this one, it's not the new iphone. it's just a black case for the iphone that can be bought in HK, apparently. Apple is very secretive about their new releases. They actually pride themselves in it. especially with the iPhone. nothing else comes close.
I know, i know about korea and Japan. but the best phones from Korea and Jp, are better only because they are on a faster network, but the actual interface of their phones are lagging behind the iPhone. why do you think that every high end phone that LG, Samsung, Nokia release is labeled the iPhone killer? they are obviously trying to catch up, and they are getting better. but with the next gen, Apple will put definite space between itself and the copy cats.
from what i've been told by apple associates, the iphone is not going to change but if it does change to either of those designs... i am glad that i have my original 16gb iphone because those are ugly. and that screen is so small! it would be hard to surf the net.
Woah the iphone flip is cool, but realisticly speaking I think people gives apple too much credit for innovation. Most likely, iphone will only change in hardware and probably the screen size either bigger or smaller.
..idk?
^I agree, I'm really happy with my purchase of my 16gb.
i was able to successfully install a theme (final fantasy) via INSTALLER.
this is what i have.
i have a Jailbroken 8G iphone, running 1.1.3, on a MacBook.
installer 3.01
Summer Board 3.2
open installer on your iphone,
go to Install, Scroll Down to Themes (summer board) category.
browse through to find the one you want.
click on it, Install package.
Go back to home (main screen) wait for it to load, unlock your phone.
Go to SummerBoard, click on the first tab (theme)
select the one you just download and Voilà!!!
ooh, make sure that the Theme wallpaper tab is ON.
btw... i found this app called ShowTime
that lets you record video. to bad it only does video but no audio.
but they are supposed to be working on it too. Hopefully the geniuses at Apple realize that they need to add video recording on their next update, and hopefully a better Camera for the next gen iPhone. 5 megapixels at least. with ZOOM!!!!
i really want to get the iphone but that would entail paying t-mobile $250 to get rid of my sidekick plus the money to buy an iphone. is it worth spending the money this summer? or should i just wait until my contract is up (i love my sidekick to death but the service is often terrible and the iphone fascinates me!) i'm sorry if this has been talked about a million times, but is there aim on the iphone and how does it compare to the sidekick?

Agree with you. If iPhone has these function in the future, i will get it unhesitatingly!!! Let us see!!!

Reason: please see TFS guidelines
Thanks Dorien- I am using the Tokidoki theme currently. I hope to still figure out how to get a theme that isn't available on the phone...onto it.
Is there a way to send pictures from the iPhone to someone else's phone? People don't believe me when I tell them the phone doesn't have that feature.
the only way i know of is if you email them and they open their email from their phone. other than that I dont think you can but I'm sure it's coming in one of the next updates. I'm still confused why that wasn't integrated when the phone came out.
