There is also a combination lock that locks the iPod through the click wheel. The lock helps to secure the contact information as well as the user’s calendar information along with the volume limit.
All the models, the first, the second, the third, and the 4th generation iPod Nano models, include some games that come pre-installed. There is Brick, Parachute, and Solitaire in the iPod.
