  2. Summary • 1- Introduction • 2- Usage • 3- Stress testing • 4- Autopsy of the Ipod

  3. 1- Introduction • As we all know, Apple has dominated the digital music player scene since its launch in 2001 the “Ipod”. • The task for Apple was to create a music player that was somehow a marriage between the minute size of the iPod shuffle and the versatility of a regular iPod • Apple's solution came in the form of the iPod nano, a mini-mini-version of their current iPod color line: it's more miniature than the iPod mini, and the display is color.

  4. The evolution

  5. 2- The usage Usage of the iPod nano is exactly the same as using any of the hard-drive-based iPods: • The click wheel is solid state and touch sensitive, but the various buttons on all sides of the wheel depress slightly when pressing them, giving the user that oh-so-necessary force feedback. • The user interface is also the same as you would expect to find on the current iPod color line, but with three new and very interesting features that we’ll see later.

  6. 3- Stress testing: • Sitting on the iPod nano • Dropping it while jogging (4-6mph), • Dropping at various speeds: 8-10mph (slow bicycle), 15-20mph (fast bicycle), 30mph (slow car), and 50mph (fast car) • Dropping the nano from various heights.

  10. 4- Autopsy of the ipod nano

  11. Features • Size: Only 0.26 of an inch thin • 1.41 ounces light, iPod nano packs a lot into its diminutive design. • Battery capacity: Up to 24 hours • Capacities: 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB of storage. • A brighter color display. • Connection: A dock connector that fits an entire ecosystem of iPod accessories.

  13. The heart of the iPod, the PortalPlayer chip, was upgraded to a slightly newer model (the PP5021C-TDF) • the audio codec is the same Wolfson Microprocessor found in the current generation iPods, a new power management unit by Phillips, a batch of 32MB of Samsung SDRAM replaces the old Hynix chips • the LCD is of unknown manufacturer but it's a 16-bit color, 176x132 1.5" model.

  14. The heart of the iPod

  15. New features: • The first new feature is the addition of world clocks. Only available on the iPod nano, you can now set however many clocks you'd like in various cities around the world and then see the time in multiple locations at a glance • The second new feature is the Stopwatch. You can now press a button and start using the iPod nano just as you would a regular stopwatch, with the ability to pause and even hit the "Lap" button to keep stats for each lap • Finally, the last new nano feature is the presence of the Screen Lock. There is a preferences screen where you can set the code for your screen lock, and another screen where you lock it

  16. Pros: • Very light and tiny, sits very easily in hand and pocket • Cool new nano-only features (screen lock, world clock, stop watch) • US$200 for 2GB iPod with a color screen and all the bells and whistles is a good deal compared to US$130 1GB iPod shuffle. • Great battery life (20hrs) • Charges over USB

  17. More thin than any other

  18. Cons: • Tiny screen means it's hard to enjoy looking at photos • Smaller storage capacities than the iPod mini it replaced • Transfer over Firewire not allowed—USB only • Dock adapter documentation • No AV output • No remote • Incompatible with mini and normal iPod accessories that require the remote connector. • Battery is soldered in

  19. Conclusion • The nano is nearly perfect: it is amazingly small and packs almost all of the features of the iPod photo and a few more. • If it weren't for its lack of Firewire, lack of compatibility with older accessories, and no current support for video output, the nano would be the perfect product for everybody who want to bring music everywhere and more to the nomad people.
