IPod nano (1st generation)

On September 7, 2005, Apple introduced the 1st generation iPod nano at a media event with Steve Jobs pointing to the small watch pocket in his jeans and asking, "Ever wonder what this pocket is for?"

Features
Advertising emphasized the iPod nano's small size 40 millimetres (1.6 in) wide, 90 millimetres (3.5 in) long, 6.9 millimetres (0.27 in) thick and weighing 42 grams (1.5 oz). The stated battery life was up to 14 hours, while the screen was 176×132 pixels, 38 millimetres (1.5 in) diagonal, displaying 65,536 colors (16-bit color). 1, 2, and 4 GB capacities were available.

Product history
On November 11, 2011, Apple announced a recall on this model of iPod nano. The recall was issued due to a battery overheat issue. This recall applied to iPod nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006.



Lawsuit
Though iPod nano Tubes were offered protect the devices from scratches, Apple was still sued over the alleged tendency to become scratched. In a settlement offer for the class-action lawsuit, users who purchased a nano that became scratched before obtaining a Tube received $25; users who obtained a Tube with their nano that got scratched anyway received $15.
