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: 2 GB(roughly 500 songs) and 4 GB(1000 songs).[1] On February 7, 2006, Apple updated the lineup with the 1 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. The current models with Bluetooth headphones have a similar advantage.
The iPod Nano(stylized and marketed as iPod nano) is a portable media player designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The first generation iPod Nano was introduced on September 7, 2005, as a replacement for the iPod Mini.[1] It uses flash memory for storage. The iPod Nano has gone through several differing models, or generations, since its introduction
On September 7, 2005, Apple introduced the iPod Nano at a media event with Steve Jobs pointing to the small watch pocket in his jeans and asking, "Ever wonder what this pocket is for?"[4] Advertising emphasized the iPod Nano's small size: 40 millimetres(1.6 in) wide, 90 millimetres(3.5 in) long, 6.9 millimetres(0.27 in) thick and weighing 42 grams(1.5 oz). The stated battery life was up to 14 hours, while the screen was 176×132 pixels, 38 millimetres(1.5 in) diagonal, displaying 65, 536 colors(16-bit color).[5] 1, 2, and 4 GB capacities were available. On November 11, 2011, Apple announced a recall on this model of iPod nano. The recall was issued due to a battery overheat issue. This recall applied to iPod nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006.[6] A nano submitted to Apple was replaced with a replacement 1st generation. However, shortly after the discontinuation of the 1st generation, Apple has replaced these nanos with newer generations, such as the 6th generation.[7] The recall is still in effect.
