Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process. 
1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less. 
Music capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding;
actual capacity varies by content. 
Photo capacity is based on iPod-viewable photos transferred from iTunes. 
Video capacity is based on H.264 1.5-Mbps video at 640-by-480 resolution
combined with 128-Kbps audio; actual capacity varies by content. 
Testing conducted by Apple in August 2008 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 (128-Kbps AAC). Video content was purchased from the
iTunes Store. Battery tests are conducted with specific iPod units; actual
results may vary. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge
cycles and may eventually need to be replaced (see
www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/battery). Battery life and number of
charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/batteries for more
information.
