Hey all,
Yesterday afternoon I was using the bathroom (to put it politely) and watching an episode of 'The Office' on my beautiful ipod touch. I know - stupid, foolish me, but I have become so attached to it, that I get bored even taking a s*** without the constant entertainment only 'The Office' can provide.
So when I stood up after I was done, I unplugged the headphones, and in my rush to get ready for work (I was late), the ipod slipped out of my hand and fell in the bowl. Unfortunately, my gut reaction was to save it, so I plunged my hand into the fairly dirty water (as I'm sure you can imagine), and pulled out my precious ipod. I quickly ran over to the handtowl and wiped all the water off.
I had no choice but to go to work, and so I couldn't check if it still worked. When I got home later that night, I rushed back over to where I had left it to dry, and when I plugged in the headphones, no sound came out!!
I was panicking now! I can't live without my 
touch! So I made a plan to go down to the local apple reseller the next day to *hopefully* get replacement one under warranty.
It was then I found out about the water mark thing at the bottom of the headphone jack to show when there has been water damage. I am prepared to admit that I did the trick where I cut a small piece of white paper out and stuck it down the jack to disguise the water damage mark.
When I woke up this morning, I was about to go down to the apple store when I thought I would try it one more time. Lo and Behold, the sound is now working perfectly. Lucky for me, that was the only defect from the water.
Although this is good, I had kindof planned to get a new replacement from Apple for the damaged ipod, then sell it on ebay as new for close to retail price, then when the 3G iphone comes out in Australia in a month, I would buy that with the money. Oh well.
The point of this post is the show that the ipod touch is almost impenetrable! This thing is an absolute beast. The screen won't scratch when I put it in my pocket with my keys, and it still works after dropping it in the toilet!!
Now I just have to stop using my MBP on the toilet...
