He <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/07/ipod-nano-vs-washing-machine/" target="_blank">neglected to check his pockets before running the wash</a> and, as fate would have it, accidentally ran a (his?) bright pink iPod Nano through the washer, only to find it when the spin cycle was done. By all rights the little music player should have been dead. Instead, we have the story of the little iPod that could. </p>
<p>After drying the device for nearly a week, leaving it on a breezy windowsill, sitting in the sun, resting atop a Macbook&#8217;s MagSafe power block, Charlie plugged his Nano into said computer and waited. A few seconds later the Apple logo appeared, followed shortly by iTunes recognition, officially proclaiming the player alive and well. </p>
<p>My question to you, gentle readers, is what do you do to save your wet devices? Charlie was a bit lucky in that the Nano was likely <em>off</em> when it got soaked. My uncle, on the other hand, wasn&#8217;t so fortunate this weekend. His sister tossed him into a pool, Blackberry and all. For now that phone is sitting in a bag of rice, hopefully drying out. I&#8217;ve had some success of my own with air drying followed by the freezer method with various electronic devices. </p>
<p>So what&#8217;s your best method and when does it work best? Have you had any success with devices that are on when they hit the water?</p>
