A new digital audio player manufactured by Apple, which first became available during the Fall 2005, is known as the iPod Nano. This handy new unit is the 4th digital audio player to be manufactured by Apple and connects to any PC via the USB port. It's compact design, combined with even more flash memory storage than the Apple iPod units before it, make the Apple iPod Nano the ultimate in convenience and portability. In size, the device could be compared to a standard computer mouse.

Apple's first cases for the iPod Nano look strangely similar to EzGear EzSkins. The Tubes ($29) come in a pack of five neon-bright colors and are straightforward in their design and function. Slipping your Nano into the case protects it from dirt, rain (kind of), and other harmful objects flying at your iPod, but it lacks the plastic screen protector that comes with most of these flexible-style cases. The case itself is constructed with soft treated silicone that repels dust and gives full accessibility to both the connector and the headphone port. Although the Tubes for the Nano might initially look clean and bright, once you find your player at the bottom of your backpack, you're going to wish you had that EzSkins screen protector.

IPod nano is the fourth digital audio player of Apple and combining features of both iPod shuffle and iPod. It was launched on September 7, 2005, it replaced iPod mini, which was discontinued on the same day. The alternate of the iPod mini took Apple-related websites, any how there were rumors about a new flash memory-based iPod, in fact there were not prior notice given related to the discontinuation of the well accepted iPod mini.
