Interesting Typo (?) on the Apple Store
The new iPod Nano has caught my attention. Since I have an smartphone with wifi and everything else I don't find the iPod Touch overly appealing, but the 8GB Nano is looking very attractive right now (I currently have a 4GB Mini).
So I was over at The Apple Store (Canada) and I was looking at the comparison page for the various iPods. I was a little concerned by the numbers on the comparison chart [boxed in Red]
So we've got more storage on the Nano if you store Songs but less if you store Pictures or Video? How does that make sense? At first the Songs portion made sense... the iPod Touch probably requires more space for software, but I don't get how the numbers are higher than the Nano, especially since they are both 8GB models. Thoughts?

It’s truly simple, dude… if you’re a Mac True Believer, you completely understand how this work.
Steve Jobs is magical. He has super secret data compression algorithms that makes photos, songs and videos expand or contract based on where he puts them.
It’s kind of like the Chuck Norris thing.

Well it’s real simple actually… the OS and Applications on the iPod touch takes up more space than on the iPod Nano leaving less room for other files.

@Dax
Your another one of those people that don’t read…
It would make sense IF the iPod Touch held less files, I even said that in the original post… However Apple claims the iPod Touch holds MORE pictures and movies than the Nano… not less.
