The iPod Nano has recently been the subject of PC Watch Japan's scrutiny, as they decided to  open one up to see the technology running behind it. The result of the inquest? Just as people have surmised, the Nano's flash memory of choice is manufactured by Samsung and its 4GB version actually has two 2GB drives installed in them, while the 2GB version only has one. A cost-saving measure perhaps? Afterall, would it be cheaper to just install two 2GB drives as compared to using single 4GB units?

However, as the source was in Japanese, it can't really be determined at this time if you can use the Nano's memory cards with other products, or if is even hackable. So, here's a picture of the dissected iPod Nano instead for the perusal of those who maybe able to unlock the secrets of this electronic guinea pig.
