I wouldn't be shocked it at some point in the future, Apple comes out with a flip-style phone similar to what Blackberry is soon to release. I wouldn't expect this too soon. Right now, the focus of Apple is on a full-featured multi-media device with a big, beautiful touch-screen interface. However, remember a couple years ago when Motorola made a Razr that was iTunes compatible? This was a great concept with poor execution. Once Apple has saturated the market with the current model, it will probably look for money-making opportunities in other niches, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a flip-style phone with a smaller screen in a couple of years.
