Ipod Nano is just one step behind Iphone Nano

I few days ago I say all the news around the new announcements by Apple. I knew there was something cooking in the company, or Steve Jobs wouldn’t be there.

So he presented new things to the market, including the the Ipod Nano with camera. At first I was a little mad because I bought my ipod Nano a few months ago and now I want the new one, marketing I know.

But also a few months ago I say on the internet a lot of talk about a “Iphone Nano”, smaller version of the Iphone. So it got me thinking, the only thing the new Ipod Nano doesn’t have is the capabilities to do phone calls. The rest, the standard equipment that a normal cellphone has is there.

So this again got me thinking… What I believe Apple does, and very brilliantly, is that year after year is presents to the market their innovations but when they are presenting them, they are already on the verge of new innovations.

I might be wrong about this but I believe that after going against the high end cellphones, Apple is turning its guns to the medium end cellphone, that cost around 200€. This target is where the real money is and a cheaper Apple phone would make a lot of people, that thinks that the Iphone is expensive (in europe it can go has high has 600€), buy the new Iphone Nano. And turn the operators on it self, because a lot of the cellphones they sell are around that price. In their end they could just end as a service provider of call and internet.

If this happens, companies like Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson would be hit hard. So now that Nokia is out of its protective mode and Sony Ericsson is due to launch a cell that would save Sony reputation with the Walkman, I believe the times that lay ahead are very Interesting. At least I hope so!

    Those news are great! service essay last week had already written that good news
  • The trend now is to be price-friendly. High ends are hits for the rich and famous. But most of the end users are in the middle level now. So better cater to this level to stay competitive.
  • very informative

    ifrogz rocks! Excellent products at excellent prices shipped super fast. I bought the 1st gen ipod nano case which was great, saw it on carnival cruise lines. Later, I bought the tadpole ipod video case. It's a great deal for a great case and headphones. At the same time, I got 2 yo-yo's and the dj headphones. All of the products are a great value compared to other products on the market.
