ipod nano storage capacity (1 Viewer)

Hi, well i bought the ipod nano 4g model. I went into the settings to check out the storage space and saw that it was 3.7gig. Is this normal, cause I haven't downloaded any songs on it yet.

Yeh that's normal. It's to do with the correct terminology/exact size and so on... then there's probably iPod software on there already too.

Yeah its completey normal with any storage device.

Even my computer's 200GB HDD is really about ~180GB

Yeh.. and Windows also sets aside some of the drive for page file, system restore, recycle bin, etc... but then, I still remember the days of when I only had a 500mb hard drive in my 20mhz pc.

normal...the space used is the formatting for the device......

yep, as all of the above have said, it's to do with binary number conversions etc + the pre-installed software on the device.

so these days, don't expect absolute maximum storage capacity.

LMAO

All storage devices are a little less because of the formating, its the same with floppy disks, flash drives, SD cards whatever.

It would be possible to do.

Dont know if ipod's tiny battery could get those drives spinning though

My HD is only 60gb and so is my IPOD so its pointless trying for me...still i'd just do it to see if it would work, too bad I threw away that old HD

That photo was proven a fake numerous times.

Well since it was obvious I was joking, whether or not it's a legitimate setup proves no relevance.. hmm?
