product by Apple. It is only 1.6 inches wide and 3.5 inches long, so it’s a very tiny device. These iPods
come with two different colours (black and white) and two different memory sizes: 2GB (for almost 500

when you buy the nano Ipod: the package comes with a pair of earphones, a charger and a cable. iPod nano’s
battery can last for up to 5 hours when it is fully charged.
You can download your favourite songs and import them into the iPods to listen to your music anywhere
you go. To do this, plug in the cable and connect your iPod to your laptop or computer. Next, go to some
music websites like Soundcloud to download your favourite tracks. When the music files are on your
computer, you can move them into the iPod folder. You can also add in more songs or delete the songs in
this way!
