That iPhone mini rumour? Total bunk according to The New York Times which says Apple will not release a slimmed-down smartphone any time soon…

Though the Wall Street Journal (a frequent conduit for Apple controlled leaks) has repeated the iPhone mini rumour, the NYT says “people briefed on Apple’s plans” state that Apple is not developing a smaller phone.

The report goes on to claim that an iPhone mini would not necessarily be cheaper to produce and adding an additional screen would simply complicate matters for developers. Still, we’ve still got iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to look forward to if the iPhone mini is a myth.

News.me, a social news iPad app from the New York Times, is on the way and has been revealed to Techcrunch in a series of screen shots. It looks like it’ll be a direct rival for The Daily iPad newspaper coming from News Corp and pretty ace in its own right. It also reminds us of Flipboard.

News.me links your Twitter account to the app and gives you the ability to view your friends’ individual news streams or combine them into a custom newspaper. You can share articles from the app via Facebook, Twitter or email and save stories to Instapaper. The app probably won’t be free but it will access the premium content from the New York Times. No news yet on when the News.me will break cover but we’ll grab it when it does.

New York Times bosses are set to introduce charging for the New York Times website within weeks. It’s thought the timing could coincide with Apple’s predicted Apple Tablet even on January 27. Could this be another sign that big newspapers and magazines are gearing up to hit Apple’s as-yet hypothetical device?
New York magazine reports that New York Times chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr is gearing up to announce charging for its website. It claims that the New York Times will opt for a metered payment system where users will be able to sample a certain number of free articles before being asked to pay.
If the New York Times’ does opt for that model, it would seem consistent with iTunes’ current payment system. The New York Times was the source of one of the earliest Apple Tablet rumours in this latest round of fevered speculation when editor Bill Keller seemingly mentioned the device in talk to staff.
It’s been heavily rumoured that the Apple Tablet will feature an ebook reader with a heavy focus on magazines. Apple has apparently been visiting publishers to discuss partnerships and magazine publishers like Conde Nast have shown concepts for bringing their magazines to tablets.
If newspapers and magazines offer subscriptions on an Apple Tablet, will you be buying them?
