Apple's iPod nano is a "shuffle" and "mini" hybrid released in late 2005 as a replacement for the iPod mini. Like the iPod mini, the iPod nano has a display and a Click Wheel navigation system; like the iPod shuffle, the nano uses flash memory to store music and is both thin and light.
The 1.5-ounce iPod nano is incredibly thin, 0.27-inches, (about the thickness of a pencil), and is 62% smaller than the iPod mini. The nano is available in black or white with 1GB ($149), 2GB ($199) or 4GB ($249) capacities. The 4GB version stores up to 1000 songs, which translates to about 50 hours of music.
Like the latest generation drive-based iPod, the iPod nano has a full-color screen, which displays album art and JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PSD (Mac only) and PNG image formats.
On September 12, 2006, Apple announced the 2nd Generation iPod nano with increased capacity, better battery life, and scratch-resistant aluminum shells. Find out more about the 2G iPod nano here.
