Piano Mp3

The iPod Nano is now the fourth generation of MP3 player from Apple and combines the features that are found in both the iPod and the iPod Shuffle. It was introduced onto the market on the 7 September 2005 and replaced the iPod mini which was also discontinued on this date. Certainly the discontinuance of the iPod Mini and its subsequent replacement took both Apple related websites and the media completely by surprise. Even though there had been rumors that Apple were developing a new flash memory based iPod, no prior notice was given that the iPod Mini which was very popular at the time was going to be discontinued.

The development work on the new Apple MP3

player that we know as the iPod Nano commenced 9 months prior to the date of when it was actually launched. It comes with more flash memory storage than that to be found in the Shuffle and also has a miniaturized version of the color screen and click wheel which can be found on the full sized iPods. But not only this the screen is of a much higher resolution than that found on the grayscale iPod which provides the user with an extra line of text that could be found on the Mini’s screen. Also all the internal parts including the battery on this iPod were reduced in size. Another additional feature to be included on this MP3 player from iPod is that the click wheel is slightly textured which allows for a more tactile feedback for out of sight operation. Another new feature to be found on the iPod Nano against its older relatives in the iPod group is that the headphone out is situated in the bottom right part of the player rather than on the top.

Originally when it was launched the iPod Nano came in 2 colors, black or white and into 2 sizes. 2GB which could hold roughly 500 songs and cost around $199 and the 4GB which could hold roughly 1,000 songs and was priced at around $249. Since its launch they have now included a 1GB

version costing around $149. They then further updated the Nano line in September 2006 which not only features a scratch resistant brushed aluminium casing (as with the earlier Mini design) but it now also comes in a choice of other colors as well (pink, blue, black, silver and green).

So if you are looking for something just that little bit out of the ordinary where an MP3 player is concerned then you should look no further than the iPod Nano.
