Apple iPod Nano Sales are Growing Apple released their newly redesigned iPod Nano back in September, and sales for this MP3 player were a bit slow at first but have begun to turn around during the holiday season. The Apple iPod Nano is now one of the top selling tech gadgets this holiday season. Back in September, some Apple stores reported initial sales of only 200-500 of the new iPod Nanos of their initial stock of 1800-2500 units (source: AppleInsider ).

Apple executives were puzzled about the slow sales of the Nano which has gotten favorable reviews from just all of the technology reviewers. Sales have greatly increased for the Nano during the holiday season, which Apple executives attribute to a recent strong interest in Apple products by consumers, such as the iMac and Mac OS X Leopard, and also because of Apple s strong partnerships with retailers like Best Buy (source: AppleInsider ).

Supply for the Apple iPod Nano are now running low, as this third generation MP3 player becomes more and more popular amongst consumers. New Design of iPod Nano The look of the third generation iPod Nano has gotten an extreme makeover. The new Nano still has the same click-wheel that has been so popular with iPods, but it s a quarter of an inch smaller than the previous Nano s click-wheel.

This is probably because of the smaller body of the third generation Nano compared with its predecessor s which was much taller and skinnier. Apple iPod Nano comparison (3rd generation model on the left) The dimensions of the newest Nano are 2.75 by 2 by 0.25 inches, and it s as light as a feather. I like the new design of the Nano, and I think it s now a bit more portable than before. The body itself is made of an anodized aluminum material for the faceplate, just as previous models have had.
