Looking at the diagrams, the iPhone will take the shape of the iPod Nano or even the iPod mini. According the leaked specs from Kevin Rose of Diggnation, the iPhone will feature a slide out keyboard (probably not QWERTY). LG, along with Verizon, has also taken a cue from Apple by offering the Chocolate in multiple colors. Despite a massive marketing push, there has been a luke warm response to the Chocolate and reviews have been mediocre. With rumors of Apple's device to have a similar form-factor, one must wonder what's going to be so earth shattering about the iPhone. After years of waiting, Apple fans will surely be disappointed if Apple delivers nothing more than a Chocolate flavored iPhone.
