According to MacRumors, the iPhone case manufacturer XSKN has labeled a category of their site iPhone Nano fueling more rumors that a Nano version of the popular phone is in the works.
XSKN gained some attention earlier this year when it began selling cases for the iPhone 3G that had yet to be released. In September, the company began selling cases for the unreleased 4th Generation iPod Nano. They have so far not produced any images of the rumored iPhone Nano, but their addition of a whole section for it has raised eyebrows.
