Well according to an industry source any way, the iPhone Nano could be here for Christmas. A decidedly sketchy article in the Daily Mail has set tongues wagging, and probably lines forming, waiting for a smaller, cheaper iPhone.

Apple is about to launch a ‘nano’ version of the hugely successful iPhone. It is expected to be in the shops in time for Christmas.

The product will be launched in the UK at up to ?150 for pay-as-you-go customers by O2, the mobile phone group owned by Spain’s Telefonica. ‘This will be a big one,’ said an industry source.

‘However, a cut down version, with the candy bar shape of iPod nano music players, would be a huge hit as a Christmas gift.’

One expert suggested the nano phone would have a touch wheel on the back and display on the front so that numbers would be dialled from behind.

Even though the article doesn’t give a source, it has still been widely picked up by a lot of sites. What do you think?
