1. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
2. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
3. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2010 using preproduction hardware and software. The playlist contained 358 unique audio tracks consisting of content imported from CDs using iTunes (128-Kbps AAC) and content purchased from the iTunes Store (256-Kbps AAC). Video content was purchased from the iTunes Store. Battery tests are conducted with specific iPod units; actual results may vary.
