Apple says no to iPhone Nano?

At the quarterly earnings conference call yesterday, Apple has hinted that it is not too interested in manufacturing the much rumoured entry-level iPhone Nano.

Apple’s Tim Cook said: “You know us, we’re not going to play in the low-end voice phone business. That’s not who we are. It’s not why we’re here. We’ll let somebody else do that. Our objective is not to be the unit share leader in the cell phone industry. It’s to build the world’s best phones.”

At the same time, it’s interesting to note that Apple is aware that the current economic recession might put a damper on iPhone 3G sales, as Tim Cook said: “the fear that we would have, and I think that everyone has in this market, is that the economy may slow the adoption rate of smartphones, because generally smartphones generally command higher monthly fees and that may keep some customers to not signing up for higher contracts. But we will see.”

So the iPhone Nano might come after all when all of us will live on foodstamps?
