iPod nano 3rd gen... on off button?

Does the iPod nano 3rd generation have an actual on off switch?

Update:

Is that button indented or does it stick out? I was thinking of getting one, but now ive read that since their is no on off switch, that the button will get pushed, while in a purse, pocket, etc, and turn on and drain the battery?

Update 2:

Is the hold switch, a button that you press, or a switch that you slide?

    there is no "real" on/off switch you turn it off by pressing and holding the pause button.

    But to prevent it from turning on accidently in your purse once you turn it off just slide the hold button on and that prevent the ipod from randomly turning on in your purse

    There's no on/off switch, you just press the play/pause button until it turns off or on, and don´t worry about having it in the pocket because it has a hold side bar that doesn't let your iPod turn on, only if you slide it, so it won't spend any battery. I use mine in my back pack always with hold and it has never turned on by itself!!

    no it doesnt have an on off switch.

    its just like most the ipods that have the wheel:

    you hold down the play/pause button for a few seconds and it turns off.
