Putting 32 GB flash in a 5th gen nano?

[puma1552]

I know a lot of people have put larger CF cards in other HDD based iPods like the mini, but what about newer flash-based iPods? I know the current nano is too small for a CF card, but is there a way to hit 32 gigs in the 5th gen nano?

The 8GB or 16GB flash chips that are inside the current nanos are soldered to the logic board, u cannot upgrade/modify them easily.

Well that sure sucks, the 5th gen nano is the pinnacle of iPod form factor IMO, the lack of 32 GB is the sole flaw, and a big one IMO.

That's how I feel about the 2nd Generation Nano, I love its size, but I just wish I could upgrade it to 32 or 64 GBs with a new battery, I just use mine for music so I don't care about the small screen.

what kind of storage media does the 2nd gen have?

I think the max the 2ed gen had was 8GB.

1st gen - 1GB/2GB/4GB
2nd gen - 2GB/4GB/8GB
3rd gen - 4GB/8GB
4th gen - 8GB/16GB
5th gen - 8GB/16GB
