Every time you turn your Nano off the memory resets.

Kind of a bitch I would say.

ok, so there is nothing really special to this thing. So I don't see WHY there aren't other companies jumping on this opportunity. See my cellphone can hold 1GB of data and keep it if the phone were to lose power..

:confused: he was serious... :confused:

I don't think he was referring to it being turned off but I'm assuming that if you were to completely drain it of power that it would lose the data.

Well I was simply wondering if the Ipod nano used like "ram chips" instead of flash memory to keep it's data stored :roll: Which is why I asked that question. I keep forgetting the name for memory that can't keep it's data with out some sort of power source (like computer ram).

volatile?

Nano uses Flash, which is used in Pen drives, etc. it is NON volatile.

well, the likelyhood of a normal person dropping it out of their car at 10, 20, and 50 miles per hour, or running it over once or twice, or throwing it in the air 40ft (or so they say) probably isn't too realistic. so basically, dropping it will fcuk up the screen. sounds durable to me :disgust:
