Third Generation iPod Nano - The 3rd Generation iPod nano is clearly different from its predecessors both because its body is wider and squatter and because this model plays video.
The 3rd generation model ushered in a drastic redesign of the nano line, which made the device squatter and closer to a square than the previous rectangular models. A key reason for this was to make the device's screen larger (2 inches vs. 1.76 inches on earlier models) to allow for video playback. This version of the nano supports video in H.264 and MPEG-4 formats, as other iPods that played video at that time did. This model also introduced CoverFlow as a means of navigating content on the iPod.
