However, I can attest that if your offspring leaves his $300 iPod in
his pants through a similar cycle; at least functional resurrection
may be possible.

A Nano? Flash memory is a lot tougher than a hard drive.

My girlfriend lost her cell phone -- left it out in the rain for a
couple of storms. After she bought another one, my neighbor found it
lying on the ground. After drying out for a week or two it worked fine,
although the display is still a little fogged up.

The most important thing is that, after you find your soaked, ****ed up
device, DON'T power it on! Throw it in your dresser drawer and forget
about it for quite some time.
