iPhone nano

[Bu11dogg2]

Supposed to be 1/3rd the size and use cloud computing. Combined with 4g or WiFi..... sign me up! :)

Apple's also considering making its MobileMe online storage service free, allowing users to store their data in the cloud rather than on a small device such as an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

no word on screen size

[tylerq219]

Huh?

[Bu11dogg2]

1/2 could be width

Ever held an iPhone 4 and a iPod next to each other? The iPod is half as a thin.

The size reduction is not limited to the screen size ;)

"One of the people, who saw a prototype of a new iPhone several months ago, said the new device is intended to be sold alongside the current line of iPhones and would be about half the size of the iPhone 4. The phone, one of its codenames is N97, would be available to mobile carriers at about half the price of Apple's main line of iPhones, the person said."
They mean height not girth.

I tend not believe speculation.

I guess we'll find out this summer.

storing if the phone's data elsewhere isn't a great idea.....the Sidekick does that, and the wife and I lost all our contacts and pics when their serves crashed.

[Seraphinwolf]

hmmmm... I think i'd stick to waiting for the next full size iPhone update. I want a larger memory to dump pics, music, and stuff.

not sure how the sidekick memory works...

Cloud computing is virtually fail proof.

[yaya]

So what happens when providers stop offering unlimited data plans and all your data is stored online? Or, what about when you're in an area with no reception and can't access you contacts?

Cool technology, but I've got questions...

[Bu11dogg2]

I doubt contacts will be stored outside of the phone.

I think they're aiming towards music and pictures and other large files.

If you get an unlimited plan most contracts lock you in for lifetime unlimited, like me. As long as I renew I will always have unlimited data.

unfortunately, about 95% is kept on the Danger Network's servers. So when they tried to swap to new servers in early 2010 without backing them up, they crashed, and for about a month our phones could rarely even make a phone call.

Hence why I have a Nexus S now, and my sidekick will be meeting the Torches at my work at some point this week.

And virtually fail proof still isn't 100%.

The problem with Cloud computing is you have a single point of failure, the data connection. If you have connection issues and your data is stored "on the cloud" (I hate this phrase) you cannot get at the data. I recommend to all my clients to run a 3rd party data archive solution on top of incremental backups when dealing with any SaaS software.

The whole sidekick issue really wasn't a "cloud failure", Danger's architecture was built using traditional datacenter methodology. The main issue was with an upgrade to the SAN, from what I've read and heard.

My WebOS phone backs up over WiFi to my laptop and it uses a central server on Palms side for data retention. Not like the Sidekick though.

if anyone can do reliable cloud computing it is apple

3 options for access: cellular, WiFi and blue tooth.

4: USB cable :)

The single point of access refers to actually being able to get at the data.

If the hosting server suffers an outage no matter what you are using to connect, you are not going to be able to get at the data.


In the future though all your data will be online as movie studios, music, even web and tv will become leased, not owned.

Most of the reason why there is a big push for nationwide WiFi/broadband.

System admins failed HARD here. The sidekick data loss issue happened like this:

1). Main storage array got corrupted, and all data was lost. At this point in time there was a full backup of user data / all data.

2). The storage array failure was not caught, and eventually the backup system 'backed up' all the corrupted data, overwriting the good backup.

From an end user point of view I'd call this 'cloud failure' since the cloud became instantly useless when 2) happened.

Well Dangers architecture was based on a SAN topology utilizing a client/server model, "the cloud" wasn't even a common phrase back then. So it's wrong to refer to it as a cloud scheme. Danger wasn't that smart.
