iPod Nano Capacity [4gb only]

[iEric]

When any of you MR people get a iPod Nano 4GB...could you tell me how much the ACTUALLY capacity is?
(Settings>About)

3.7 GB in Settings > About. Which makes sense, since 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 3.7 = 3972844748.8 bytes. Everyone does the ol' 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes trick, when 1 GB actually equals 1,073,741,824 bytes (a difference of 7%).

1 GB = 1000000000 bytes
1 GiB = 1073741824 bytes
