Apple iPod nano - 3nd Gen

Apple's 3rd Generation (3G) iPod nano adds video to the most popular MP3 player in the world.  The player looks a short iPod Classic at first glance; turn the 3G nano for a side view, however, and you'll quickly see why it's the nano successor. At only 6.5mm thick, the 3G nano has a 2" screen for video playback, and uses a modified version of Cover Flow, the same iPod interface used on the iPhone.

The 3G nano is available in two capacities, 4GB and 8GB. The 4GB version available only in silver, but the 8GB version is available in several colors (shown left).  The new iPod nano also is a bit lighter than its predecessor, weighing in at 1.41-ounces. The 8GB version stores up to 2000 songs, which translates to about 100 hours of music.

The 3G iPod nano has the same audio battery life as the 2G, about 24 hours, and can provide about 5 hours of video playback per charge.  In addition to video, the 3G iPod nano's color screen displays album art and JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PSD (Mac only) and PNG image formats.
