iPhone nano on the cards

Apple's recent patent filings seem to indicate that it may have a new device on the cards soon. If the filings are interpreted correctly, it appears to be an iPhone in the iPod nano's form factor. What this boils down to is a device capable of just two functions: a phone and a music player.

Sure, the iPhone is already out there, but if conceived, the iPhone nano with its smaller screen and a UI that people are already familiar with will put Apple in an enviable position. Don't expect this to have a higher capacity though: it could be the same 4/8GB as the iPhone offers now.
