Ipod Nano

The iPod nano is the fourth digital audio player launched by Apple. It was unveiled on September 7, 2005 as a replacement for the iPod mini. The iPod nano has combined features of both the iPod shuffle and iPod. The development of the nano started only nine months before its launch date. The iPod nano has more flash memory space than the iPod shuffle, and has a mini color screen and the click wheel as found on the iPod. The battery and other internal parts are also smaller in size. The nano is 1.6 inches wide, 3.5 inches long, 0.27 inches thick and weighs 1.5 ounces. It has a battery life of 14 hours. Its 65k color display is 176 x 132 pixels and measures 1.5 inches diagonally. The screen also has a higher resolution than the older models, with one more line that the iPod mini. The nano works with iTunes on Mac OSX or Microsoft Windows. The iPod nano is the first iPod to include a lyrics screen. The nano is available in black or white and has three storage capacities 1GB, 2 GB, and 4GB. The iPod nano uses flash memory, thus avoiding the use of moving parts that makes the nano far more durable that disk based players After the release of the 1GB iPod nano in January 2006, Apple slightly changed the design of the front panel. The display of the new models has been set into the case so as to protect the screen when exposed to any surface.
