The Apple iPod nano is my favorite iPod — and may be your favorite too. Have you wondered who invented the Apple iPod nano you love some much?<\/p>\n

Here’s the scoop.<\/p>\n

Obivously the iPod nano evolved from Apple Computer as part of the iPod product line. That original iPod was is often credited to Tony Fadell. Tony was part of the team that created the original iPod classic. Who invented the nano? It seems to be a team effort, as no one is being publicly credited with its invention. Let’s look at the details of the nano’s launch.<\/p>\n

Apple introduced the iPod nano in 2005. It took the press by surprise. The iPod Mini was doing pretty well with the mid-price buyers. Apple discontinued the Mini in favor of the nano.<\/p>\n

There were a couple solid reasons to discontinue the mini in favor of the nano.<\/p>\n

You wouldn’t think “storage technology” would be a big deal, but in the case of the iPod nano it’s incredibly important. Nanos use flash drive storage — which is much, much more durable than a typical hard drive. My nano takes a lot of abuse and still keeps running.<\/p>\n

The classic iPod has a normal hard drive — holds more but needs to be treated a little more kindly. Customers using iPods for their workouts (you know, the folks with the armbands on) sometimes complained about the limitations of the classic iPod. No more with the nano.<\/p>\n

The iPod nano’s size is one of it’s strengths too. Flash drives are much smaller than hard disks, which you see reflected in the nano’s size. I can carry my nano in a blazer pocket without a bulge. It fits small carryons. It’s a lot less bulky on an armband.<\/p>\n

Where are we now? The third generation iPod nano (the 3G nano) launched September 5, 2007. The release was a major step forward for users wanting games and video playback. The size of the 3G was widened to make room for the graphics.<\/p>\n

The nano 3G images are sharp and clear. It renders with a 204 pixel density on a QVGA 320×240 screen. Beautiful.<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t have thought I’d play games on the nano, but they’re atually pretty good. I played Vortex (one of the three games that come with the 3G nano) on a flight home from Minneapolis last month and enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

Now you know how the nano came about, and why. Happy playing!<\/p>\n
