The iPod Nano stinks.

"just bend it into a boomerang and throw it at ya mates aye" that was the most Aussie thing I have ever heard

[ZeHamberglar]

This nano is too dangerous to throw away. I know what i'll do, I'll put it in an airtight glass jar and make a glass frag grenade.

The rectangular Ipod Shuffle with the USB built onto it, and the 3rd gen nano, were the pinnacles of the Ipod product line.

The ipod touch was more akin to a gameboy than an Mp3 player with all the games we played back then.
(Back then, we used them for playing a game called TapTap Revenge, and less for scrolling facebook, it wasn’t until gen 4 of the touch that things began changing in terms of what we really did with touch screen devices)

I had one of those green nanos and loved it to death. Made videos with it all the time and took it everywhere. I watched ATLA episodes and American Pie on the damn thing. When I was moving out I found it at the bottom of a drawer. I was so excited I hadn't seen it in years. But picking it up, I saw it. My heart stood still... The black spot.

When the 1GB used to cost $500
Now, a 1Tb micro SD costs $234

*shake the jar :)*

I'd put mineral oil in that jar. You can store pure lithium metal and other reactive elements like potassium and sodium. So by putting the oil in the jar, your electronics will probably be fine.
More importantly you can still watch the battery expanding but no risk of exploding glass fire

who else remembers brick breaker solitaire and guess the song on this thing

The 3rd gen nano is immediately what I think of when I hear "iPod". Had one of those as a kid, somehow. Parents weren't exactly rich so maybe they bought it off someone secondhand.

[DylanKelleyVA]

It's a fire hazard! So I put it in a jar...with a safety label on it.

1:37 Fun fact: That nugget player was used by Jobs as an example of a typical high-end flash player, in order to explain the features of iPod mini, the predecesor of the nano. So, basically, that nugget was the primordial enemy of the nano.

[DankPods]

Sorry bout the sad episode, it's just how it is!
<<EDIT: Turns out 3G iPods and 6G iPods can have it happen too. Welp, there you go.>>

I do have a nano that works perfect even after being put through a washing machine twice, but I've had nanos that looked fine begin to swell up only when charged again... bit of a gamble I suppose.

You can put rockbox on a nano if you want a "mod" of sorts. I'm not qualified to play with flash storage on a mobo, even James is doubtful! Nanos are hard core difficult ipods.

I found a 1st gen nano like that in white in my grandparents house a long time ago...I was able to bring it back to life with just the USB cable I had...It was the most amazing thing and I adored it, it's battery and screen were perfect (for some reason) and I would still have it and would still be using it today if I hadn't spilled a bit of water in the middle of the night...in the morning I found it with a puffed battery...it was very sad...I loved that little nano...I would love to still have it today...

[cometchris]

This guy is the reason I now subconsciously say “na-no” every time I see a Nano.

[jaredhughes]

The third gen nano was the best iPod ever made. Fight me. I still have mine and it's running after a cycle through the washer and dryer, and after losing the scroll wheel. It's amazing and I love it.
