I’m no Apple hater, and I welcome an Apple device to the (don’t call it a) netbook market, but I've got to think this device would be a flop. This concept is such a train wreck from start to finish that I don’t know where to begin.

At some point the iPhone will expand to two form factors:
1. A high-end iPhone with the same basic size and price as previous iPhones, but with significant new features.
2. A new, lower-priced, smaller, and more adorable iPhone, with more or less the same technical specs as the original iPhone.
