More Details about iPhone Nano

Posted by unlocker under News on Sunday Mar 6, 2011

There are a lot of rumors about the new iPhone nano. Everyone went crazy on the news that Apple is working on a smaller and cheaper iPhone that will probably cost you around $200 and without a contract. Then there is also the rumor from a person who actually saw the iPhone nano that it could come out with an edge to edge screen.

Now, Cult Of Mac claims that Apple will cut costs on iPhone nano by reducing the on-board memory and will allow users to access their iTunes library wirelessly via the revamped MobileMe service.

According to our source, “Apple decided to lose some of the memory, which is by far the most expensive component of the iPhone (up to one-quarter of the device’s cost, according to iSuppli estimates). By “some” of the memory, we mean ALL of the memory. The iPhone nano will have no memory for onboard storage of media, our source says. It will have only enough memory to buffer media streamed from the cloud. “I’m talking strictly storage memory here.”

This is quite similar to what Apple did on the second generation of Apple TV and thay drastically reduce the on-board storage. However, Cult of Mac revealed their question on how the device will work without the on-board memory:

“The device cannot surely come without any memory — what about the operating system and critical system data? And what about pictures and movies taken by the iPhone, assuming it has a camera? No onboard memory means photos and video will have to be streamed UP to the cloud, and presumably in real-time.

The device will also have to stream a bunch of other data in real-time — from email attachments to documents and spreadsheets in users’ Home folders. Such a system must have some local storage, or could each and every piece of data be streamed to the iPhone’s RAM, and quickly swapped in and out depending on the task at hand? And what happens when the iPhone is inevitably offline? And no more loading up movies for long-haul flights, I guess. Better hope more airlines start offering free WiFi by the summer.”

Google Voice will call your phone and then connect your call.”

Some of the improvements in the newer version of the Google Voice Application are:

When you enable Push Notifications, we will automatically disable Text forwarding for you, so you won’t receive multiple notifications.
