iPod Nano Does Not Like Water
Last week I received a iPod Nano as a gift. I was so jazzed about it (I know I am the last person to have one, but...) I started to load all of my Podcasts on it from iTunes and was able to listen to the Ruby on Rails, Web 2.0 Show, and Audible Ajax while golfing and (I wouldn't advise this, but...) while driving to and from work (which is only a mile or so anyways.)
Today, I went to the Oakland Zoo with my family and noticed that my Son's shoe lace was un-tied while he was jumping from stepping stone to stepping stone in a 10 inch deep little pond. As I leaned over, while balancing on a stepping stone no less, my Nano slid right out of my short pocket into the water. It seemed to work fine for about 10 minutes before it finally faded and then died.
What really ticks me off is, I could have saved it if I could have turned the power off or removed the battery somehow but either of those options were available due to the Nano's design. Anyways... I'll be off to buy a new one next week.
