Wonder no more.
The easy answer is the iPod nano was invented by Apple Computer as part of the iPod product line. (By all accounts the original iPod was inspiration came from Tony Fadell, who was part of the team that eventually created the iPod classic. ) Yes, you already knew that, but here's the deeper details
The iPod nano was launched by Apple in 2005. The media was a bit suprised, as Apple already had strong sales for the iPod mini.
It begged the question: why replace the mini with the nano? There were a couple reasons.
You wouldn't think "storage technology" would be a big deal, but in the case of the iPod nano it's incredibly important. Nanos use flash drive storage -- which is much, much more durable than a typical hard drive. My nano takes a lot of abuse and still keeps running.
The classic iPod has a normal hard drive -- holds more but needs to be treated a little more kindly. Customers using iPods for their workouts (you know, the folks with the armbands on) sometimes complained about the limitations of the classic iPod. No more with the nano.
Of course we can't talk abou the iPod nano without mentioning its size. One of the cool advantages of a flash drive is that it can be much smaller than a traditional hard disk. The iPod nano's size is a terrific advantage over the classic. It fits in a jack pocket, a small purse, and is light on a workout armband.
Fast-forward to today: Apple released the iPod nano 3G (third generation) September 5, 2007. The 3G brought two features users clamored for most: video playback and games. The size of the 3G nano was reworked to give a wider form factor, which was needed if they were going to emphasize videos.
The nano 3G images are sharp and clear. It renders with a 204 pixel density on a QVGA 320x240 screen. Beautiful.
As far as games, the nano 3G delivers with three to start. A healthy variety are available for download at iTunes and other download sites.
Now you know how the nano came about, and why. Happy playing!
