Features

Instead of the hard disk used in the iPod classic, the nano uses flash memory. This means there are no moving parts, making the iPod nano immune to skipping due to physical trauma.

Third generation

Apple updated the nano again on September 5, 2007 and made it available the weekend following. The 3rd generation nano 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. The nano is available in a 4 GB version at US$149 (UK£99.99) coming only in silver, and an 8 GB version at US$199 (UK£129.99) coming in silver, turquoise, mint green, black, sky blue 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 of nano, the third-generation nano has an aluminum front plate and a chrome back plate. The nano 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 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.^{[citation needed]} 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.
