So we're basically talking an iPod touch, only with a better camera, plus LTE data? If you add in the LTE radios and its a compact device, you basically already have a better iPhone.
Maybe it's a high-end extension to the iPhone line that is somewhat thicker, but has the picture quality of a mainstream ($200 or so) Canon or Nikon P&S. Sold starting at $299, 16GB (64GB for $399). Alternatively, the plain old iPhone (flagship model) starts at $99 for 16GB, or 32GB at $199, with the iPhone 4S free.
Tim Cook has talked about not leaving price umbrellas... Short of engaging in those "buy 1.5, get 3" deals, this might be a way to do that--provide a solid, current iPhone experience at $99, while also providing incentives to purchase higher-priced models.
