Another iPhone case came from Vaja

Relatively well-known iPhone case manufacturer Vaja has curiously added an "iPhone Nano" listing to their website. The link simply directs you to a form asking you to sign up for information about "the upcoming release of our iPhone nano cases."

While it may be that Vaja is simply taking advantage of the hype surrounding the iPhone Nano, the rumors have been persistent over the past few weeks. While Apple does not give case manufacturers information about unreleased products, Apple must contract out to factories to manufacture their hardware. It is believed that it is through these contracts that case design specs are often leaked ahead of time. As we've said before, case manufacturers have a huge financial incentive to have cases ready in time for new product launches.

Meanwhile, iPhone Nano knock-offs are already been spotted circulating in Thailand and Spain.

Fake iPhone Nano appears in Thailand

Guys who are looking forward to iPhone nano should keep an eye on this, as the fake iPhone Nano has emerged in the Southeast Asian market, first discovered in the country Thailand, it was produced immediately after XSKN released the shape of iPhone Nano.

The fake iPhone Nano has directly copied the Apple and iPhone logo and the appearance is also very similar, but, it certainly has nothing to do with iPhone.

iPhone Nano's parameter exposure

The news that iPhone Nano would soon be released has been talked for a few days and most of people do not believe this product really exists. But since some of the accessories manufacturers have launched iPhone Nano-related accessories , the truth become clearer and clearer. After all, the info that Apple choose to announce iPhone Nano in January, the next year's MacWorld is not a bad idea, because this product is face to lower position, although with a star-face.

At present, the iPhone Nano related configuration has been revealed, and this is the first time to see the data: iPhone Nano will carry a 2.8-inch touch screen, the resolution is 320x480, same as iPhone 3G; It includes two versions, 4GB and 8GB which are 99 and 129 U.S. dollars (contains a two-year monthly average consumption about 50 U.S. dollars). For this feature, this product is more cost-effective than the iPhone 3G.

For the thickness and weight, iPhone Nano is better than iPhone 3G, the former is even less than 10mm in thickness which can be staggering. The OS are the same, but iPhone Nano will not be integrated with GPS Feature (the other info is not integrated with WiFi function), which may make some people a little depressing.

In other aspects, there are no big difference between iPhone Nano and iPhone 3G, but from the basic functions and specifications of view, iPhone Nano is clearly cost-effective, compact and the appearance of iPhone Nano can help to win a larger market, however, the lack of support for GPS will also enlarge the gap with the iPhone 3G.

Is iPhone Nano around the corner?

Has a rogue case manufacturer once again jumped the gun on an Apple iPhone announcement?

XSKN has a section of its Web site that promises an "iPhone Nano" case alongside cases for the iPhone 3G and the first-generation iPhone, as noted by MacRumors. Earlier this month a Chinese Web site called iDealsChina reported that XSKN was working on a case for a purported iPhone Nano that is supposedly shorter and thicker than the iPhone 3G.

When will Google Android G2 be released?

Yesterday, the T-Mobile blog CellPhone Signal published a list of new features it claimed would be in the G2, the second HTC-built phone built for the T-Mobile network running Google’s Android platform. The most outrageous claim however, was the supposed date of the device’s release: January 26, 2009.
Would T-Mobile really risk enraging the million or so people who bought the G1 just a few months after its release by launching an updated version? No, says the blog Boy Genius Report, which has a separate tip containing some of the same G2 information, but a later launch date: April 2009.

Still, that is just six months after the launch of the G1. Shortly after the original iPhone was released, Apple received a lot of heat from early buyers when it cut the price by a couple hundred dollars. There was so much heat, that Apple decided to give Apple store credits covering half of the difference to those early buyers. And that was just for a price change, this is a entirely new, and presumably much better device launching just a few months after people shelled out around $200 for the first one.

Still, as BGR point out, this is all still very much a rumor and far from confirmed. But the highlights of the rumored G2 include the removal of the QWERTY keyboard, a 5 megapixel camera with a flash, a memory card slot (for up to 16 gigabytes). There is also talk of the phone being able to do video calling.

It also says the G3, yes the third version of the device, is also just around the corner. If true, that's an interesting strategy, but with a lot of Android-powered devices due to be released this year, HTC and T-Mobile do need one that is better than the G1 to stay in the game.
