The Apple iPod nano (Fifth Generation/Video Camera) retains the aluminum and glass case of its predecessor, the iPod nano (4th Generation), but the nine available colors—silver, black, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, and (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition—feature a "glossy" finish instead of matte. It is equipped with a larger, higher-quality 2.2" TFT display (240x376, 204 ppi), along with an integrated microphone and speaker.
For storage, it offers either 8 GB or 16 GB of flash memory, which can hold 2000 or 4000 songs, 7000 or 14,000 photos, and 8 or 16 hours of video, respectively.
Beyond the new finish, larger display, and audio features, the 5th Gen iPod nano also introduced a video camera capable of shooting H.264 VGA (640x480) video at 30 FPS with AAC audio and various real-time effects (it could not take still photos). Other new features included a built-in FM radio with "live pause" and "iTunes tagging," an integrated pedometer, VoiceOver technology for announcing tracks, and "Genius Mixes" for creating automatic playlists.
Battery life was 24 hours for music and 5 hours for video, matching the 3rd Gen model and improving on the 4th Gen's video playback time. Note that the yellow and (PRODUCT) RED colors were available exclusively from Apple.
