IPOD NANO ����� The iPod�nano�is Apple's fourth� digital audio player. It was�introduced� on September 7, 2005, replacing the iPod mini, which discontinued on the same day. It is only 1.6 inches wide, 3.5� inches long, 0.27 inches thick and weighs 42 grams. Its stated battery life is 14 hours. The screen is 176x132 pixels, 1.5 inches diagonal, and can display 65,536 colours. ����� The iPod nano was�launched in two colours (black and white) with two�available sizes: 2GB (roughly 500 songs) for $199� and 4GB (1000 songs) for $249. Apple�also released some accessories, including armbands and silicone�tubes (possibly a play on nanotubes) designed to bring colour to the nano and protect it from scratches, as well as a combination lanyard-earphone accessory that hangs around the neck. ������The iPod�nano uses flash memory instead of a hard disk.
