companion photo for Apple readying "media pad" and "iPhone lite" for launch soon

Apple is preparing to launch not one, but two new devices with Verizon, according to yet another new rumor. Two “people familiar with the matter” speaking to BusinessWeek have leaked details about an alleged “iPhone lite” and a tablet-like device, one of which may launch as early as this summer (we assume to coincide with the release of iPhone OS 3.0).

These claims seem to support evidence of multiple new devices discovered in the latest iPhone OS 3.0 beta last month. At that time, we dug up product identifiers for yet-to-be-released iPod touch and iPhone models, plus two mystery products referred to as “iProd” and “iFPGA” respectively. iFPGA didn’t conform to Apple’s standard numbering scheme for the iPhone and iPod touch, and iProd had a product number of 0,1, indicating that it could be a prototype under development.
