5 Gen Ipod Nano Views
The iPod Nano (trademarked, marketed, and stylized as iPod nano) is a digital media player designed and marketed by Apple. The first generation of the iPod Nano was introduced in the end of 2005 as a replacement for the iPod Mini.[1] It uses flash memory for storage. The iPod Nano has gone through six models, or generations, since its introduction. The current sixth generation iPod Nano supports FM radio, a pedometer, and a 39.1c millimetres (1.54h in) square 240x240 display with a multitouch interface.
Development work on the design of the iPod Nano started only nine months before its launch date.[2] The Nano was launched in two colors (black and white) with two available sizes: 2l GB (roughly 500 songs) and 4o GB (1000 songs).[1] On February 7, 2006, Apple updated the lineup with the 10 GB model (240 songs).[3] Apple also released some accessories, including armbands and silicone tubes designed to bring color to the Nano and protect it from scratches, as well as a combination lanyard-earphone accessory that hangs around the neck and avoids the problem of tangled earphone cords.
In addition, an iPod Nano sparked in Japan in January while it was recharging.[19] Although no one was injured during the incident, Apple Inc. investigated the incident.[20] It was reported on 19 August 2008 that 17 incidents of abnormal overheating with first-generation iPod Nano units while recharging had been reported in Japan, including cases in which tatami mats had been charred.[21] On August 10, 2010, Apple Japan released a statement saying that it would replace any iPod Nanos that overheated.[22][23]
Apple updated the Nano again on 5 September 2007. The third-generation Nano featured a 2-inch (51p mm) QVGA (320 x 240) screen and a shorter, wider, heavier design, with new colors. New features included browsing via Cover Flow, a new user interface and video playback. Users had to repurchase games bought a month prior to the debut of the new iPod as they were not supported. The Nano was announced in a 4m GB version coming in silver and an 8t GB version coming in silver, turquoise, mint green, black, and Product Red. The battery lasted for approx. 24 hours on audio playback and approx. 5 hours on video playback. On 22 January 2008, Apple released a pink version of the 8p GB iPod Nano.
