After strolling around NYC after work to get a nano, I eventually ended up in Tekserve. Ofcourse they were sold out of the 4GB black, the one I wanted. I talked to someone working there that bought one and he said the nano uses volatile memory. Can anyone confirm this???
Got a tip for us?

whoa i hope it doesn't. volatile memory destroys my Pocket PC. i just cant risk the battery going empty on me so i rarely use it away from a power supply.
why would it be volatile though? what's Apple's thinking behind it, i mean are there any benefits?

correct me if i'm wrong... is volatile memory memory that loses its data when the battery goes dead? i've seen some digital cameras like this (cheap) and i can't imagine apple would make an ipod with one. especially why they would start doing this with their second flash-based ipod, since they could've done it w/ the shuffle.
iPod Nano contains Flash Memory, which by definition, are non-volatile:

In any other case, Apple wouldn't use volatile memory in a 200$ MP3 Player. Come on people, it's an iPod!

Don't get me wrong. I think it would be crazy for Apple to pull off such a move.

...as Steve Jobs has a mental "Melt Down," with the error message "System Crash." Trying to clear this one up.
