The product will be launched in the UK at up to £150 for pay-as-you-go customers by O2, the mobile phone group owned by Spain's Telefonica. 'This will be a big one,' said an industry source.
A Flickr picture posted in January (at right) claims that the iPhone nano will have a 2.75-inch screen (compared to the iPhone's 3.5-inch), MultiTouch and come in 4 and 8GB capacities.
