I have just washed my I Pod Nano mistakenly left in my jeans pocket, which now (suprisingly lol) no longer works and I have tried to get a replacement but they have stopped doing them (5th generation).

I am stuck now between getting an I Pod Shuffle or new style I Pod Nano, can anyone recommend either. Dont need any cameras, radio, etc., just want to listen to music.

Thanks for any help

Thank you both of you, I am swaying towards the shuffle, but OH hasmine on warm radiator at moment on a book (so not too hot) and it has just shown signs of life i.e. saying connect to power. Think I will leave it over night and if all else fails, purchase a shuffle. The new Ipod Nano is nice but I dont need everything it comes with and its a lot more pennies.

Thanks again, Marilyn

I hAve the Nano....it has radio as well as a pedometer which I find handy. It also has a watch face which is neat. One can buy a strap that can go on the wrist, or one that goes on the arm. One can also have audio books on it.

pack the thingy in a pile of rice....it will drag the moisture out..

having said that do you ever get those little packets of dessicant in parcels?(usually says on them"do not eat")

save them, keep them in the airing cupboard or similar place, they too will dry out wet objects
