@TIS, can this be judged

@TIS, can this be judged yet? There are no signs of clamshell iPhones.

Apple Let's Rock is done. No

Apple Let's Rock is done. No mention of this. Leaked articles were right on! This is looking good for judgement.

It may be photoshop. It may

It may be photoshop. It may not. Just quite a bunch of these shots (captured in the wild). Here is yet another. As to the relevancy issue, if leaks are true, the new iPod Nano is NOT a clamshell.

Unfortunately both

Unfortunately both irrelevant to this prediction and a completely unreliable (read: poor photoshopping) image.

No launch of products come

No launch of products come without accessories. Here is an accessories leak for the new Nano (http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/26/new-ipod-nano-and-touch-revealed-by-c...) which is consistent with the leaked picture of the nano (http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/23/kevin-rose-unearths-redesigned-ipod-n...)

@Bradley, I concur that

@Bradley, I concur that there is absolutely NO WAY Apple will release a new iPhone next month. That would not stop the Apple fanatics from wishful thinking or grinding the rumor mill. I do wish that someone WOULD swing the bet to the high % so I can load up :) Seriously, I wonder what can one do with a small touchscreen (of a nano). Imagine trying to browse using Safari on that tiny screen.

Of course it's also a guess

Of course it's also a guess at the new iPod Nano. Note that this prediction is for a new iPhone Nano.

There's no way Apple releases a new iPhone in the next month. Clamshell or otherwise

This new nano does not look

This new nano does not look like a clam shell

Apple releases iPhone Nano in clamshell form

The Standard — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:12:03 -0700

This prediction did not come true; the community was right. Judged at 0%. -- The Industry Standard

Original prediction:

The 'net is abuzz with Apple's latest patent application for what looks like a clamshell version of the oft-speculated iPhone Nano.

This is a prediction that must satisfy the following two conditions in order to be judged favorably:

1.) Apple releases an iPhone "Nano" (it need not be called the Nano per se, but it must be at least 70% of the size, judged by surface area of the face, of the current iPhone when closed i.e. in its most minimal configuration)

2.) The iPhone "Nano" as released also has a clamshell-like design based around at least one hinge on the device (even if that hinge ultimately serves a different purpose than it does for the clamshells we know and love. . .)
