I was surprised at the last Macworld event when Apple did not announce a new version of the i-Phone. To me that was very un-Apple like, beacuase I have always thought of the brand as reinventing itself with new products every few months. Maybe the rumors are all coming true and Steve Jobs' recent leave of absence has put a damper on new product releases? I hope not.
Some people have recently speculated that Apple will launch an i-Phone "nano" http://www.cnet.com/8301-17918_1-10160905-85.html?tag=centerColumnArea1.2
but in my opinion, going smaller would not do much for the product. The i-Phone is already slim, manageable and feels nice in your hand. What they could do to improve the phone is continue improving the network speed for video and content download, as well as look to other creative ways of using the device - such as video recording or a credit card speed pass, much like in Japan. Speaking to fellow i-Phone junkies though, many seem relieved that no new i-Phone has been launched. For once it feels nice that the device they just bought isn't already outdated.
