iPod Nano playeriPod nano player was introduced on September 7, 2005, replacing the iPod mini, which was discontinued on the same day. The iPod nano player is Apple's fourth digital audio player combining features of the iPod shuffle and iPod. The iPod nano player has more flash memory storage than is used in the iPod shuffle and has a miniaturized version of the color screen and click wheel found on the full-sized iPods. The screen of the iPod nano player also has a higher resolution than the old grayscale iPod, allowing one more line of text than the mini's screen. The battery and other internal parts were also reduced in size. The surface of the click wheel of the iPod nano player is slightly rough, allowing greater tactile feedback for out-of-sight operation. The iPod nano player uses flash memory instead of a hard disk. As a result, it has no moving parts, making it immune to skipping and far more durable than disk-based players. Testing by technology-enthusiast website Ars Technica has shown that even after being driven over twice by a car, the unit's screen was damaged but that it could still play music. The unit finally stopped playing music after being thrown 40 feet. Accessories: There are many accessories available for the iPod nano player from a vriety of vendors.
