Aluminum is well accepted for its recyclability, high strength, light weight, and nice touch. That is why the major and profit-making product lines of Apple, Ipod, are made of aluminum extensively. Both iPod nano and iPod shuffle leverage aluminum casing (either aluminum extrusion for iPod shuffle or aluminum die-casting for iPod nano). Catcher in Taiwan will manufacture both the aluminum extrusion for the new iPod shuffle as well as some other magnesium inner parts spread throughout other model's in Apple's revamped iPod line. Hon Hai (Foxconn) appears to be behind both the manufacturing of Apple's second-generation iPod nano as well the aluminum die-casting for its enclosure. Recently, MacBook Air also features in a highly recyclable-durable aluminum enclosure that should also made by die casting.
It's moving up... it's aluminum.
