Development[edit]
Development work on the design of the iPod Nano started only nine months before its launch date.[4] The Nano was launched in two colors (black and white) and two storage sizes: 2 GB (roughly 500 songs) and 4 GB (1000 songs).[2] On February 7, 2006, Apple updated the lineup with the 1 GB model (240 songs).[5] Apple also released accessories, including armbands and silicone "tubes" designed to bring color to the Nano and protect it from scratches, as well as a combination lanyard-earphone accessory that hangs around the neck and avoids the problem of tangled earphone cords.
