It would not be as much a true nano-sized iPhone, of course, but a smaller version of the current iphone thus the shorthand 'iphone nano'. I believe that there would be a robust market for a lower priced phone that incorporated some of the key apple features. Basically, this is what the ROKR was intended to do with iTunes integration but it was saddled with poor Moto design and a ridiculous 100 song storage limit. An Apple birthed ROKR would likely be a much slicker device with some kind of keypad and true itunes integration with a smaller storage capacity than the iphone (think 2-4gb). For $100-200 with carrier subsidy, they would fly off of the proverbial shelves. Don't believe me? Take a look at the ipod product line, specifically the shuffle. It has no screen, very limited memory and functionality but has sold in the millions of units. The ipod for the masses. Before the launch people claimed that no one would every buy an ipod without a screen, I guess they were wrong (a few million times over).
