One of the oddest items in the DigiBarn collection is this device, created in 1979 by early Apple employee Daniel Kottke, which was a portable digital music player. Damer called it "the ancestor of the iPod."

iPhone Going The Way Of The iPod?

clipper's remarks: For the iPhone to be as successful as the iPod Apple will have to come up with a cheaper alternative.
This picture is a humorous what if.
Personally I would love to see a version of the iPhone that would allow a wider range of consumers to experience this really exciting technology. Unfortunately the iPhone is flying in the stratosphere with a BMW and a first class ticket to London.
My guess is that once this behemoth comes out and it doesn't explode in their faces the first month, they will then release a cheaper version that we can all afford without selling our first child.
So cheers folks, and don't sell off your kidneys yet.

Yeah, don't pretend like you didn't see this one coming. Completely unsubstantiated "market sources" rumors are making the rounds that Apple is already prepping a lower cost iPhone variant. Warning: completely mundane "analysis" follows. According to American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu, "Apple needs to round out its iPhone product line at lower price points (similar to iPod) if it expects to replicate the success of its iPod with sales of 100 million units."

So now that the very slick Apple iPhone TV ads are available for viewing, I am sure many of us have our gadget lust peaked and are thinking about what our iPhone acquisition strategy may be on 29 June. As compelling as the iPhone looks, there are also many of us who are not AT&T customers and are locked into other carriers for a period of up to 2 years. My personal situation results in a couple of alternatives for me to get an iPhone, with a total price difference for 2 years of service totaling at least US$2,245 or US$2,383 and after putting it down on paper I may actually go for it so check out the details below if you are with another carrier and thinking about the switch or addition.
