A bright idea: The dazzling 1.5-inch, full-color screen is 40% brighter than the original iPod nano, making album art and photos pop. Bring your favorite pictures everywhere you go—the nano holds up to 12,500 snapshots.

A flyweight champion: Though slimmer than ever—just over a quarter of an inch thin—the new iPod nano has an anodized aluminum housing that’s tough enough to withstand hard knocks. The metal case provides superior protection and extends the life of your iPod.

Fits up to 1000 songs: The 4GB of flash memory allows you to take all of your favorites with you, wherever you go. The nano holds up to 1000 of your favorite songs with skip-free playback.

Rock around the clock: The improved battery provides up to 24 hours of play time and up to 5 hours of slide shows with music. This is the perfect companion for long trips or the person on the go.

Lightening fast charge: Impatient? The nano fully recharges in about 3 hours. If that’s not quick enough, you can charge up to 80% capacity in just 90 minutes.
