The iPod nano

The iPod nano is one slim iPod. Nicknamed “the fatty” by Apple fans, the iPod nano, pencil thin and a little over two inches wide by less than three inches high, weighs only 1.74 ounces but packs a punch: video. This mini marvel offers a 2-inch color LCD display that crisply displays video, iPod menus, and album artwork. Apple offers an 8GB model that holds about 2,000 songs or up to 8 hours of video (or 7,000 photos), and a 16GB model that holds about 4,000 songs or up to 16 hours of video (or 14,000 photos).

Each model offers a battery that can play up to 24 hours of music — all day and all night — or 5 hours of video.

The iPod nano is the smallest iPod that can serve up videos, podcasts, photos, and musical slide shows as well as your personal calendar and contacts. Unlike the smaller iPod shuffle, iPod nano is a full-featured iPod with loads of accessories tailored specifically for it.

iPod nano uses the same style of click wheel and buttons as the sixth-generation iPod classic models. Like other sixth-generation iPods, iPod nano uses a dock adapter cable to connect to a computer or power supply. A variety of docks for the iPod nano are available from Apple and other companies.
