This chart compares MP3 players that use solid-state Flash memory to store music and other data. These players are usually mid-line models that offer good amounts of storage and good prices, but don't crown the lines the way hard-drive-based players do.
The iPod nano is the iPod that fits this space in Apple's lineup.
This chart is designed to make it easy to compare the features and prices of these players to guide your buying decision.
This chart does not compare hard-drive-based players or ultra-portable players.
