The 4gb nano is apparently 3.7gb.

Memory sizes are not like hard drive sizes. Since memory chips operate in powers of 2, 4GB of flash memory should actually be 4GB. Apparently, the iPod OS takes about 300MB. Chris

Can the nano's flash memory still double as an external "harddrive" ? [By the way, thank you poster. I reset my iPod to the factory settings. Voila! Back to over 13GB capacity whe…

Yes you can use the nano to store files. Since it can't use firewire (except to charge the battery) I don't think a Mac could boot from it, but I'm not sure.

Its a fact, white hides this more, hence why i purchased my 4gb White nano

Same is true for black vs. white or silver autos. Black shows paint imperfections much more than lighter colored cars. That's why I didn't get a black nano as well.

Wow. Ya think?

itz nt tt black shows much more... just tt it is more obvious...

somebody call the redundant police!... something shows much more=more obvious

I had a chance to see the Nano in person. Mesmerised is the correct word for what I felt. I have to get one. Then I compared the White and Black Models. Though black looked good bu…

ok so i've been using my white nano and i've had no problems with scratching yet. maybe it's just solely a black thing. of course, the back is a lil scratched up, but that's silver…

I am thinking of buying an iPod nano, i already have a 3G 20GB ipod. So my question is will the nano work with the firewire dock i already own as i believe it comes with a dock ada…

It will work with your dock, however you will have to use the supplied USB cable as opposed to your firewire cable. The connector on the back of the dock is standard. -cs

The dock adaptor with the Nano is for future accessories, not current ones. All it does is provides an exact fit for the Nano. The Nano will sit fine in any old dock, as the conn…

there an option in my ipod nano and on itunes. i have no idea what selecting this does. please help. thanks

Compilations are albums that have tracks by different artists. You can use the setting to keep all compilations (like movie soundtracks) together.

lavar, thanks for the reply. i'm still not sure how this would work with itunes and the ipod? hope you can explain. thanks again.

It's a shortcut to your compilations. For example, 7 World Collide is my favorite live albums. (It's from a concert where the leader singer of my favorite group, Crowded House, p…

lavar. thanks for the info. wouldn't it be easier to search for the album if you are looking for these artists? i think i'm not yet seeing the benefits of marking it as a compilati…

It's another option in addition to search. Some people prefer browsing over searching. It makes browsing for compilations much easier. Also, you can't search on the iPod.
