Apple iPod Nano 2nd Generation Review and Features

The iPod Nano (stylised and marketed as iPod nano) is a discontinued portable media player designed and formerly marketed by Apple Inc.

On September 25, 2006, Apple updated the Nano line. The second-generation Nano featured a scratch-resistant, anodized aluminium casing like the earlier Mini’s design; the multiple colour choices mirrored those of the Mini.

However, unlike the second-generation Mini, the button labels were grey instead of matching the Nano’s casing (except for the black Nano, which had a black click wheel).

The second-generation 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.

The 2 GB model was available in silver only. The 4 GB was originally 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”, thereby reducing environmental impact and shipping costs.

On October 13, 2006, Apple announced a special edition iPod Nano, Product Red, with a red exterior and 4 GB of storage.

The iPod nano RED Special Edition is identical to the iPod nano 2nd. As to hardware, the crucial improvement was boosting the battery life up to 24 hours. The display also became brighter or as Apple put it, more vibrant.

As to software, Apple engineers improved the search engine. Video playback remained unavailable.

For each red iPod Nano sold in the United States, Apple donates US$10 to the Product Red initiative while retaining the regular price.

On November 3, 2006, Apple introduced a red 8 GB model due to “outstanding customer demand”, again retaining the same price point as the equivalent black model.
