What is the difference between the iPod nano and iPod mini?
The iPod mini and iPod nano models all use the “Click Wheel” (which places pressure sensitive navigation buttons underneath the scroll wheel) introduced with the iPod mini, but the similarities do not end with the “ClickWheel”, particularly between the iPod mini 2nd Gen and iPod nano 2nd Gen. The iPod mini uses a colorful “ultra-portable (3.6 inch tall, 2.0 inch wide, 0.5 inch thick) lightweight anodized aluminum” case available in five stylish colors — silver, gold, pink, blue and green, with the second generation model using richer, deeper shades of four of the original colors — silver, blue, green, and pink (with gold no longer available). All iPod mini models have a 1.67-inch “white backlit” monochrome LCD display, and either 4 GB or 6 GB hard drives to hold approximately 1,000 or 1,500 songs (encoded at 128-bit), respectively. The first generation iPod nano, on the other hand, uses an “impossibly small” 3.5 inch tall, 1.6 inch wide, and 0.27 inch thick “iBook white” or jet black
