Sieger’s “Apple informant” told him yesterday:
• Apple has set itself an internal goal of shipping 50 million units ending in ‘09
• Apple plans to extend the iPhone lineup to 3 models
• Low-end iPhone will not be touch based

Bleagh, those cases are fugly.
Anyone have any idea when we’ll see the 16 gig iPhone? Please, please, please be before Christmas.
That’s right, the low-end iPhone will not be touch-based; it will be thought-based! How do you like them apples?
“What a waist….” – noun

Goes along with people saying the have a whelp on their arm where a bug bit them. arf arf.

Click wheel? No way. Reason is simple: SMS (text messaging). The missing iPhone will be targeting the Razr market. The Razr market LOVES to send text messages. Apple isn’t going to expect people to type out text messages with a click wheel.
You must realize that Apple tries to limit variations of products as much as possible.
It seems to only leave one other option: Make it smaller, touch screen, and have Phone, iPod, SMS, camera features and nothing else.
They’ve killed all the smart phones… Now they need to kill the Razr.
Another reason is I’m sure they’ll want it to run OS X. It seems simpler to use the same software as the iPhone and iPod Touch, but just install the iPod, Phone, SMS apps. And probably make it a smaller size.
Maybe SMS will be done in landscape to allow for a larger keyboard on a smaller screen.
