IPOD - Memory
I have an "8GB" 3rd G ipod nano, but on itunes it says it has 7.4 GB!
why does it have less memory than what the ipod says??
(ive asked a few of my firneds who also have ipods, and they have less memory then what it says!)

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Actually, this is not a misprint.
Theymos is right. Think about it, what sounds better, 8 GB or 7.4 GB?
The games that are pre installed on your iPod take up some memory as well.

it could be telling how much memory you have left.

One GB is 1024MB. To save money, though, tech companies lie and say that one GB is *1000MB*. To most people, this makes more sense than 1024MB, so they get away with it.
Because of this, your iPod actually contains 8000MB, not 8192, which it should. 8000/1024=7.31, which will be rounded up to 7.4GB, the amount reported. All iPods have this problem, and it's caused by the greed of Apple, not a technical problem.

My dear friend,
It's not a big deal. Misprints happen all the time
-- or maybe it means that since you have already put songs on the Ipod, you have 7.4 GB left. Nothing to freak out about.
