Ipodnano2g

The 2nd-generation iPod nano was officially announced by Apple at the "It's Showtime" event on September 12, 2006. The updated iPod nano featured a scratch-resistant, anodized aluminum casing like the earlier iPod mini's design; the multiple color choices mirrored those of the minis as well.[1]

Features[]

Unlike the previous 2nd-generation iPod minis, the button labels were grey instead of matching the casing (with the exception of the black iPod nano, which had a black click wheel). The second-generation iPod nano featured a 40% brighter, "more vibrant" display, a battery life upgrade (from 14 to 24 hours), and storage sizes doubled to 2, 4, and 8 GB models. The second generation also introduced gapless playback of audio files, along with a new search option.[1]

The 2 GB model was available in silver only. The 4 GB was initially available in green, blue, silver, or pink, and the 8 GB model was initially only available in black - red was later added for 4 and 8 GB models. Apple claimed that the second generation iPod Nano's packaging was "32% lighter with 52% less volume than the first generation",[2] thereby reducing environmental impact and shipping costs.

Product history[]

On October 13, 2006, Apple announced a special edition iPod nano (PRODUCT)RED, with a red exterior and 4 GB of storage. For each red iPod nano sold in the United States, Apple donates US$10 to the Product Red initiative, while retaining the regular price.[3] On November 3, 2006, Apple introduced a red 8 GB model, due to "outstanding customer demand", again retaining the same price point of the equivalent black model.[4]
