I wasn't sure where to put this topic...
One of those models could be based on the cheaper, popular iPod Nano, the smaller, sleeker iPod, according to a research report from JP Morgan Chase. JP Morgan Chase analyst Kevin Chang issued a report saying that the new model could sell for less than $300.
Much of the Nano-based iPhone talk has centered on Apple's July 5 patent application that refers to a multifunctional handheld device with a circular touch-pad control, similar to the Nano's scroll wheel. Apple has not commented on the application or the speculation it incited.
"We believe that iPod Nano will be converted into a phone because it's probably the only way for Apple to launch a lower-end phone without severely cannibalizing iPod Nano," Chang said, noting that the new phone could have "rather limited functionality."

Now, I really want an iPhone because my nano is close to dying and I hate my current phone, but sadly I don't have the money and I can't fathom spending 6 benjies on a phone.. but this sounds like a good idea, and even though its just speculation, it's fun to think about/discuss.
