that's the biggest load of rubbish I've seen in my life, it's like the MacBook Wheel, people playing around!

Looks similar to Nokia's two lipstick phones. Functions similarly, too. Breaking patents now, Apple? tsk tsk.

You are right that there were hundreds of articles predicting how iPhone will look like and none of them got it right.

But you are wrong about the patents. There were tons of patents with hints about the iPhone all through 2006.

And one patent application describing exactly what current iPhone and even next generation iPhones would do and what it will look like (full touchscreen, muilti-touch, separate video iPod, telepone, GPS navigator, internet browsing functionality modes, etc;):

Multi-functional hand-held device

And while something may look useless for someone, it may be perfect for others. Just Google for the comments about iPod when it was first announced.

For me iPhone Nano, designed along the lines described here fall into that category. I am sure that Apple is working on it and I’m willing to go on the record that we’ll see it next year.

I guess next fall we’ll see who’s right.

This is definitely not what the next iPhone will look like. Apple doesn’t make products as useless as this. Companies like Apple file hundreds of these patents. There were hundreds of articles like this before the iPhone was released that predicted what the new iPhone was going to look like, and they were all based on patents filed by Apple. None of them were correct.

This is embarrassing.

Dude, not everyone needs a fancy multi-touch iPhone for $600

Cellphone that is cheap, simple, small, durable and as easy to operate as my grandma’s rotary dial phone will be perfect for many.

Navigating a thousand song collection on an MP3 player was also a hassle. But then iPod came along … to the widespread initial disappointment of many Apple fans.

Dude, this design is 1) useless, 2) a hassle, and 3) probably filed just to throw people off the trail of what they are actually planning. See for reference the bezel edge control for widescreen ipods.
