Rumors on Apple changing its global strategy with a cheap iPhone version are bountiful last couple of days. Some analysts believe that iPhone 3GS is planed to stay as a cheap iPhone version even after Apple releases next iPhone model. Could it be that Apple plans to offer iPhone 3GS for $0 with a 2 year carrier contract or for $399 without the contract? Currently, the best bargain you could get is iPhone 3GS 8Gb for $49 with a contract, and the same model for $449 if its without contract.
Could it be that Apple wants to lure more users with the free iPhone 3GS while it plans the release of iPhone 5 (or iPhone 4S as some expect) in September? This strategy could be pointed against steady growth of Android smartphones on the US market. Previously there were many rumors floating about Apple working on a smaller version of iPhone, which could be suitable especially for growing markets in developing economies, mainly in China and India. Some have even dubbed this iPhone version the iPhone Nano, alluding to its supposedly smaller size.
The goal for Apple was supposedly to offer an more affordable $200 device, which could be a real deal for users in India, a high growth market with a large demand for Apple products. Could it be that Apple has postponed release of iPhone Nano in order to integrate it with their new iCloud service?

Robert Nay’s free game was downloaded over two million times during the last fifteen days.
It’s a physics based brain teaser where you must organize different elements in a creative way to get the ball to the goal. Basically it is a great game to strengthen your logical thinking and get some good fun at the same time.
Surprisingly Mr Nay is just a boy living in a small town in Utah.
He is an ambitious kid who is using local public library for all of his research. Besides his schooling he is also playing trumpet, piano and mandolin but it seems that his true vocation is computer programming. His Bubble Ball game has already toppled the previous most popular game, Rovio’s Angry Birds from the top spot.
If he charged his game only a dollar he would already be a millionaire. Seems that the Utah software genius is not lulled by this sudden glory as he is already working on his next game. He has even started his own gaming company, Nay Games. While his new game is a secret project it seems that it will now be a paid game. Watch out Silicone Valley, here comes the new generation of software geniuses!
You can download Robert Nay’s Bubble Ball game in the app store free of charge.
