Because a computer reads a gigabyte as 1,073,741,824 bytes. The marketers, however, say a gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes. So your iPod has 2,000,000,000 bytes, when two gigs in comp language is a bit more than that.

Probably using some of it for the firmware, menuing system.
The 500 song claim is based on specific file size. Maybe you have recorded mp3s at a higher bit rate, or your songs are longer than average.

The other .12 gigs is likely firmware, meaning the operating software, the stuff that makes the iPod run.
