The iPhone Nano is as real a sit gets, as some real live images of it have recently surfaced. There are high chances that it is not a mockup, but the real thing, which makes it clear that Apple has some pleasant surprises too prepared for its fans.

Rumors of the iPhone Nano have appeared since not even the normal handset had been released on the market. At first, it seemed ludicrous that Apple would expand its iPod strategy to mobile phones, but it is now clear that a miniature version of the iPhone has high chances of soon hitting the market.

A skeptic approach to these new leaked images would say that they are nothing more than Chinese rip-offs. Such clones have proved to be capable of replicating to the smallest details famous handsets coming from leading producers. It looks like, this time, the pictures show the real thing, though.

The live images also show the fact that Apple has put up a great amount of work on this device, taking it from the concept state to that of a real handset. With all the interest and huge amount of effort, there are high chances that the iPhone Nano will soon hit the market, although no sooner than the end of this year.

Some specifications also sowed up along with the spy shots of the device. It looks like the phone will come equipped with 4GB of Flash memory. The phone uses touchscreen technology at its best and also provides tactile feedback, through vibrations on touch. Its sizes make the most important feature that sets this device apart from the original iPhone. At only 80 mm long, the Nano version is 35 mm smaller than the older version.

Apple has made no official statement on the possible future release of an iPhone Nano, although latest information clearly shows that such a device has high chances of soon hitting the market.
