iPod Nano Rumors and Future
With all of the rigidly outlined doubt and doubt surrounding Apple’s iPhone 5 release date plans this Sep , it’s not difficult to forget the iPod range. IPod sales appear slowly sliding, so how can the company doctor those iPod hearts to get them thrashing again? What would occur if a little iPhone was popped within an iPod nano? Who can have not managed to spot the attention given last year’s iPod nano, which about instantly spawned a collection of add-on devices that turned the music player into a watch.
Now imagine Apple took this concept, popped an A4 processor within it, together with a tiny touch sensitive screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and an edge or 3G information connection. What does it do? IPhone nano claims are not new. They are going back many years, I have been reporting them since 2008. Apple’s history adds a little credibility to the concept : It introduced the iPod mini ( Jan, 2004 ) just over 2 years after it launched the iPod classic ( Oct, 2001 ). The company knows the way to dilate and diversify a market so as to protect share of the market. Will it occur? Just peek round the Web today and there’s a researcher for each possible end result, Apple will, or won’t supply an iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, smaller less expensive iPhone, whatever — it depends who you should chance to decide to believe. My take? Apple will necessarily diversify and dilate its market offering, with a specific view to targeting developing economies.
It is smart to expand, and doing so would extend Apple’s reach into the low-end of the smartphone sector, while also delivering best-in-class solutions rivals will find it difficult to match.
Introduced in 2007, the iPhone is 4 years of age. If the diversification does not occur now, it’s only an issue of when.
