What is the difference between the original iPod nano and iPod “Color”?
Upon first glance it would be safe to assume that the first generation iPod nano is a “micro” version of the iPod “Color Display” models, and in a few ways this is a safe statement. Both systems use the “Clickwheel” (which places pressure sensitive navigation buttons underneath the scroll wheel), have color displays, have software that uses color for all interface elements and applications, use the “Myriad” font, and are capable of displaying photographs in addition to playing music and transporting files. At 3.5 inches tall, 1.6 inches wide, and 0.27 inches thick the first generation iPod nano is both physically smaller, compared to 4.1 inches tall, 2.4 inches wide, and 0.75 inches thick for the iPod “Color Display” models, and holds less data on 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB of flash memory, compared to 20 GB or 60 GB hard drives for the iPod “Color Display” models. However, there are also some important differences between the first generation iPod nano and iPod “Color Display” models as well
