The introduction of the iPod over the past couple of years has revolutionized the way how people transport and listen to music all across the world. Before mp3/mp4 players became popular, persons used to use cd/cassette players to carry around and play their music. The iPod nano is a miniature version to the original iPod, which has a little less space (8 – 16 GB of space) but still has the ability to hold and transport thousands of music and videos at a time so the user can access their songs anywhere, at anytime at the push of a button.
