Electronics section...
I read the link, which does indeed say the same things as the electronics section. However, as a hardware engineer and geek, I feel obliged to point out that the information is not completely useful or accurate, possibly to make the larger point of the article that the Game Boy Micro (perhaps a sponsor or advertiser? Just guessing...) is a technologically superior toy.

The discrete-versus-custom-IC debate is common; discrete people (like me) usually focus on upgrades/product lines, reliability, and operational speed, and that long-term the production cost will be lower. For differentiated products where the RAM/EEPROM/Flash is the costly component, discrete is almost always cheaper to build even in astronomical volumes - presumably that's why Apple had lots of profit (see next paragraph of article). Custom ASICs can be cheaper if you _really_ need the space and/or are producing a ton of _exactly the same_ product and have a lot of component cost and complexity; however, neither of these is true for the nano.

Component cost figures are back-of-the-envelope at best, since anyone who is privy to the Apple pricing for the components is not allowed to tell us what the costs are. Depending on stock, you could easily get a discount of 50% or more over retail for a large quantity. (To be fair, the cost of the nano was probably mostly the flash and LCD, both of which were pretty expensive even in volume at the time... but the numbers are obviously way off, since Apple turned a record profit.)

It also strikes me as strange to say that 0603s were a poor choice for 2004/5, as I was using them in designs in 2001 where space was no concern at all! They were even then the cheapest way to get discrete components, at least here in the States. My Palm m100 (2002, $100-ish, IIRC) uses discrete 0603s, for example, in a configuration not unlike the nano of 3 years later. I wouldn't have used 1005s after 2000 since it'd be like pulling teeth to get spares. (Quite possibly that's the reason I've never seen a Game Boy Micro...)

Anyway, the whole electronics section rubs me the wrong way, though I have nothing better to propose than taking it out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.192.95.83 (talk) 19:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC).

Vandalism
I have noticed that this page has been recently vandalised and has seen some ongoing vandalism. This page must be locked for editing my non-members and vandalists who are wikipidia members must be penalised. Could a moderator of wikipedia plese have this page locked from editing due to vandalism and consider locking other iPod pages also. The vandalist is clearly persistent and will not cese vandalising the ipod pages. Therefore, I strongly suggest this page be LOCKED FROM EDITING DUE TO VANDALISM. Otherwise it could jeporadise the validility of Wikipedia as a reliable resource.

iPod Linux Support
The wording of the phrase "does not support iPod Linux" was disputed recently. I reverted the change because I feel like hardware supports software, regardless of whose job it is. If it is in dispute again, let's use this to discuss. Happinessiseasy 18:29, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

iVendy

Dont know if you're still looking at this, after a month, But no Ive never actually seen one, but I have heard about them. I think its a good idea. Do they sell ipods or just the music?


 * I don't think I've ever seen them before, but I'd think that they wouldn't put music in them ( how would they download, how does it go to a specific library...)

I saw one once in hotel in Las Vegas. I can't remember the hotel that has the Star Trek rides, but that is where I saw it. Swipe a credit card, punch in the Number and Letter selection that you want (kinda like a candy or drink machine "E9") and out comes your ipod. But I was wondering how you put music on it. I mean, you would have to have a laptop in your hotel room probably. Maybe they should have another machine next to it that allows you to purchase songs and put them on your iVendy ipod right there on the spot. That way, you can get music. Then just go home, login to itunes, and it will automatically download your music that you purchased on the iVendy. FXDWGI (talk) 04:57, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Although this is not a discussion forum, for the purposes of nobody wanting to add this product in that is not an official iPod Nano. At a guess I would say it is an imitation fake. Sorry --Andrewjd 23:08, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't really trying to start a discussion but asking for the article's sake if this is an older model of the nano and if so it would need to be included in the article. Thoraxcorp 08:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

This may be irrelevant regarding the iPod nano itself, but don't you think these "fake" iPods should have their own article.

 * Yes. Vincent Pun  talk 10:36, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I suspect that the case of the 3G nano is plastic with a metallic finish, not a "full-metal design" as previously written on the Ipod nano page. I purchased a 3G nano recently and from what I can gather about the appearance and feel of the casing, it doesn't seem like any sort of metal. The feel of the case when it is tapped is very hollow and dull which made me certain that it must be some type of plastic. Certainly the fact that the backplate scratches so easily is indicative of this.

The durabilty of portable devices such as the nano is of the upmost importance to me and no doubt other consumers and I would be disappointed if the housing was in fact plastic. If anyone has any definite information could you please help to clarify this issue so that no other consumers are misinformed. Thanks. Balancefirst 10:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Song capacity
I was wondering how many songs the different models can hold. I'm currently putting a CD's worth of music on my 8GB Nano, and the CD takes up approx. 500MB, and has 10 songs. By my calculations, my 8GB should hold 80 songs. Obviously, this is completely not true, but I was wondering how many songs it's supposed to be able to hold. Sixty-Nine Dot Eighty One Dot Fifty Two Dot Nineteen 01:51, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Um, I'm guessing the cd is an audio cd? Audio cds use uncompressed red book audio (or something), but the iPod uses compressed mp3s, of which a cd could hold several dozen albums worth. Rehevkor 03:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Purple 4th-Gen iPod picture
Some editors seem to have doubts that the in this article really is the purple version, and insist on repeatedly relabelling it as "blue". As the person who actually took the photo, I can vouch that it is indeed the purple version. I also took a photo of the blue version in the shop on the same day, and that is much lighter in colour. As I have indicated in the description of the image itself and in a hidden comment in the article, the bluish tinge that seems to be confusing some people is simply caused by the fluorescent lighting.

Possibly an error....
Well, I know that the stadardized way of listing pixel ratios is (width x height). However, it's backwards with the 4G iPod Nano. Even though Apple says it's 320x240, that would make for an awkward pixel format. I'm sure that it might be an apple oversight that it is 240x320. I say this because the screen, like the iPod Touch, is taller than it is long. So, it wouldn't make sense to have more pixels across than it would tall....Gyrferret (talk) 05:43, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Transflective Screen
The iPod Nano 1G and 2G both had a Transflective_liquid_crystal_display. You could use those iPods in direct sunlight and still read them perfectly. Also the screen never turned off, no matter what you did. I remember this feature was mentioned on Apple's website back in the day, but it was not pushed for marketing. The new iPod Nano 4G does not have a transflective screen anymore. It is unreadable in direct sunlight and also turns the screen completely off after about 1 minut of no input.

My question now is, what did the iPod Nano 3G have? Transflective or normal? Apple support does not know this and I know nobody who owns an iPod Nano 3G.--89.245.97.53 (talk) 09:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

5G Images
I noticed that there were very few images of the new 5G nano available on Wikipedia, so when I got one I and uploaded them. I added the images to places I thought were appropriate and useful, which included the 5G section of this article. However, on two occasions those images have been removed by other editors, first without an explanation, and then with an explanation that the article already has too many images. are the I  to that section which were removed.

On the plus side, my image of the 5G nano was removed from the top box of the article and replaced with what I think is an excellent illustration of the 5G nano. I think that was an appropriate and beneficial change.

I have searched through Wikipedia policies and as far as I can tell, illustrating the 5G section with good quality images of a 5G nano is absolutely appropriate and enriches the article. Can anybody tell me why adding images of the 5G nano to the 5G nano section might be inappropriate, or any other reason why the article is improved by removing the 5G images from that section? Many thanks.

Lubyanka (talk) 02:06, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your contribution; we really do appreciate it. My guess is that an image takes up too much space for a section only a few lines long, but considering that all the other generations have images, that might not be fair. Can you take a picture of just the camera, since that's what's new? You can also try re-adding it to see if it will slip under the radar, but only do it once so you don't run afoul of WP:EDITWAR. We're working on getting renderings for all the nanos, but the guy who does it is busy right now. HereToHelp (talk to me) 02:19, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reply, it was helpful. If you check the page's history, you'll see that I've already added it twice as I mentioned above, and it was removed by two different editors.  So I don't want to do it again without finding out what's going on.  As you say, all the other generations have images so I don't know why images of this one are too much all of a sudden.  Certainly I could take a picture of just the camera, or else somebody could duplicate my existing image of the back and crop it to the camera, but as you noted, none of the other generations limit their image content solely to the changes, so that seems like an odd restriction.  And even if you had complete renderings for all the nanos, why wouldn't the article be enriched by having actual images of the actual models?  Many thanks for your help.  :)  Lubyanka (talk) 07:29, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Further to my last reply and your suggestion HereToHelp, I've uploaded a | close up image of the camera detail. I feel hesitant to add it to the nano article at the moment because I think that any images I add are likely to be removed again by other editors unless there is some kind of definitive response from an administrator approving the additions.  I think the images would enrich the article and add to its information, and I am pleased to share them, but I had no idea that my attempts to do so would lead to so much contention.  If the images are deemed superfluous by an administrator, then I will happily capitulate and leave the matter entirely in your hands.  If an administrator approves their addition then I will be pleased to add them.  It would be very helpful to me to know one way or the other.  Thank you, I appreciate your efforts.  :)  Lubyanka (talk) 21:16, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * As here to help said there is simply no more room for images - the article is already flooded, 12 images for an article that isn't really that long. And the 5G section is too small to support one, especially considering the image is already in the specs table (why would we use the same image twice in a single article?) So yeah, it's not a matter of enrichment, it's aesthetics and layout, there doesn't *have* to be an image there, Wikipedia is not an art gallery. Rehevkor ✉  11:05, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I read what HereToHelp said very carefully, I couldn't find any references to insufficient room for images, image flooding, minimum article section size requirements for image support, or art galleries. I don't understand your art gallery reference since I never thought nor said anything like that.  I disagree that adding images to articles isn't about enrichment, because why change an article at all if not to enrich it?  I agree that images aren't mandatory, however I do feel that this particular article and the 5G section within it is enriched by the addition of relevant images.  As HereToHelp suggested, I have added the image of the camera detail to the 5G section.  If you choose to remove it, I would take it as a courtesy if you would please leave additional details of your reasons for doing so here. Lubyanka (talk) 09:16, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Bought a 5G nano for my aunt for Christmas and it will not fit into her four Apple Universal Docks (kitchen, living room, bedroom, cabin) with the 4G nano insert -- very disappointing! I wish Wikipedia (or Apple) would have warned me about this change!! My Aunt already has a 4G nano, but was having trouble changing playlists since she is in her late 70s and not computer savvy, so I figured I'd buy her a 2nd nano in a different color for storing a different genre of music on it...

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:IPod Touch which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RM bot 13:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Title Capitalisation
Just a thought, but if the Nano is '(trademarked, marketed, and stylized as iPod nano)', why is the 'nano' in the Wikipedia article capitalised? Astonmartini (talk) 06:02, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * This has been discussed at length on the iPod Touch talk page a few weeks ago and it isn't going to change I'm afraid. -- Eraserhead1 &lt;talk&gt; 19:38, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Also in regards to the image, is the one currently displayed temporary, until the actual device is available to the public to purchase. (then someone needs to buy an iPod nano for photography purpose) Bentoman (talk) 00:47, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

do iPod games work on them? MatthewWaller (talk) 17:17, 12 September 2010 (UTC)


 * No, ipod games do not work on the new nano. --Thekmc (talk) 16:43, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Section on Electronics
The information is outdated (from December 2005), is there any reason not to update it?M miyama (talk) 18:11, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Pricing in ₤'s
I know that the newest generation section is still under construction, but prices should not be in pounds. They have never been stated in pounds on other apple products. They should be stated only in usd as that is apple's main market. if we are to also include pricing from minor markets (such as the uk) prices should also be in other currencies such as euro, yin, etc. Alek2407 (talk) 01:57, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

The United States is not the main market. iPods are marketed globally. Being the English page,  there shouldn't be any problem in listing prices in the currencies of other English speaking countries. However with this being a product from the US, non-US currencies should be in brackets. M miyama (talk) 18:02, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Video Support
There should be a breakdown of the various video formats each generation supports, which is what I came to the article looking to research. 76.95.33.253 (talk) 17:45, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

6th gen reception
The 6th gen ipod nano has been reviewed. Shouldn't we put people's opinions into the reception section of the article? --Thekmc (talk) 21:09, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Disappointing
I came to this article looking for useful information and I am a bit disappointed. A lot of the article is about generation by generation details and specifications. Plus a detailed timeline of when various models were sold. Plus a brief section which seems to suggest the thing poses a serious fire hazard.

There is nothing here on what the thing does or how to use it. That's how I see it anyway. Thanks, CBHA (talk) 00:35, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * So fix it? Rehevkor ✉  09:46, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you. My knowledge of the thing is that it is supposed to play music. I'm starting too far back to fix the article. CBHA (talk) 18:31, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

2nd Generation
"On December 26–27, 2006, Apple's website and servers crashed due to thousands of people downloading iTunes software since so many iPods were sold that Christmas season." Wonderful information. Okay no source. Issue one. How does this relate specifically enough with the iPod Nano to be included here? Oh! Let me check the source! oh.... yeah...  And seriously. I really don't know the answer and wanted to check the source as I was just visiting for info on 6th generation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.237.237.67 (talk) 15:02, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I took it out. -Thekmc (Leave me a message) 23:35, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

7th generation
Someone has added to the generation table a 7th generation iPod nano. That is incorrect, the iPod nano that is sold today is just the sixth generation iPod nano with the OS updated. There's still no 7th generation Nano. -- WKMN? Later [ Let's talk ] 20:18, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

The 7th gen iPod Nano has been released and it would be a good idea to update the article and picture accordingly. GeekX (talk) 03:45, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

7th gen specs need to be added

 * Got as much as I could find on Apple; I was too lazy to figure out what all is new versus the previous generation, though, so that's blank for now. - Shiori (talk) 19:29, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
