- 1000 songs in your pocket
- Color display, can support photos
- Click wheel navigation
- 80% smaller in volume than the original iPod. 1.5 ounces
- 1/2 the thickness of the iPod mini
- Supports the dock connector
- 14 hour rechargeable battery
- Flash memory instead of a hard drive
- New graphical clock, games, stopwatch, lap timer, screen lock
- White and Black models available.

Last minute rumors of the "nano" appeared on Page 2 but was met with skepticism. Meanwhile, legitimate reports that Apple would be moving the iPod mini line to a flash based design appeared in late August based on supply deals made with Samsung.
