Ipod Nano MP3 Player

It's a portable media player designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The first generation model was introduced on September 7, 2005, and combines features of both the iPod shuffle and iPod classic. It was intended to replace the iPod mini, which was discontinued on the same day. The replacement of the mini took Apple-related websites and the press completely by surprise since, although there were rumors about a new flash memory-based iPod, there was no prior notice of the popular mini being discontinued.

Development work on its design started only nine months before its launch date. It uses flash memory, like the iPod shuffle, but with a miniaturized version of the display screen and "click wheel" found on the iPod classic. The screen also shares the same resolution as the classic. The battery and other internal parts were also reduced in size compared to the mini.

Apple updated it again on September 5, 2007 and made it available the weekend following. The 3rd generation features a 2-inch QVGA (320×240) screen and a shorter, wider, heavier design, with new colors. New features include browsing via Cover Flow, a new user interface, video playback, and support for new iTunes Store games. Users must repurchase games bought before a month prior to the debut of the new iPod as they are not supported. It's available in a 4 GB version coming only in silver, and an 8 GB version coming in silver, turquoise, mint green, black, and Product Red. The battery lasts for approx. 24 hours on audio playback and approx. 5 hours on video playback.

Combining elements from the previous two generations, the third-generation nano has an aluminum front plate and a chrome back plate. It also sports a new minimalistic hold switch, similar to the shuffle's power switch, which has been moved to the bottom of the player. The 2 inch screen has the greatest pixel density of any other Apple product and has the same resolution of the 2.5 inch iPod classic's display.

On October 6, 2007, Apple released a firmware update (1.0.2) via iTunes that is said to improve Cover Flow, yield faster menu navigation and fix the Video Out option. The update was also released for the iPod Classic.

On November 28, 2007, Apple released another firmware update (1.0.3) via iTunes, which included unspecified bugfixes.
