Great news. Should be a kick in the teeth for the Android manufacturers who's only selling point is 'cheap' that's pretty much all of them! Will you be buying fandroids? t may be in your price range.

Maybe on the flipside Samsung will make a device out of quality materials, it's about time.

That's old news on the iphone, its also supposed to priced around £65 and have a 1.5" screen so it may be similar to a classic style ipod which isn't a bad thing

It's a troll response to a troll thread. There's an easy solution, if you see a thread from Andyroid, don't read it.

It'll be plastic, but it'll be apple plastic and thus superior

It won't be plastic, it'll be an advanced composite.

Like that but to use the Fandroids favourite word "Better"

Personally I hope it's cheap as chips and made out of something light, might get one as a second phone. My Nokia is buggered and I haven't found anything to replace it yet.

Be interesting to see if the reduction in manufacturing costs will really be passed on to the consumer or if its just to boost apples profits.

If they can release a competitively priced iphone with a 5" screen, ditch the consumer shackling lightning connector, add sdhc capability and remove the chav linked Illusory superiority complex I might even consider one.

Oh, and all the key apps will need to be free as well - I've owned a number of android devices in the last 5 years and never yet had to buy an app.

Good apps cost money, you probably haven't experienced one yet. As an example, this is £3 hardly bank breaking http://www.algoriddim.com/djay-ipad
