These bite-sized PMPs are iPod Nano clones, coming with 1.5-inch and 1.8-inch touchscreens! That's right... touchscreens. Perhaps they are made for ages 12 and under, those with nimble fingers... or perhaps you're supposed to use a stylus as thick as a needle. The seeming lack of navigation buttons also leads us to believe that these are touchscreen only... which could drive those with stubby fingers nuts... so probably not meant for the Western markets! The small device (screen resolution is likely to be 320x240) has also got a speaker and a card reader... the latter seemingly being a full on SD card reader rather than microSD.

For those of us not too enamored with Apple's latest, here's the thing in bits.
Not concerned with the usual wordplay or letter changing, the Iphone Nano is exactly what it says on the tin, a knock-off approximation of the two Apple hit's bastard child.
Though we've no hands-on feedback, it costs a lot less ($90), has no contract and packs a 5 megapixel camera, trumping the official iPhone 3G S' 3.2 megapixel effort.
