You know that thread about stuff we like that ATOT will rip us for? I like iTunes.

Put it in a bag of rice for a day or so. Might start working again once the water is absorbed.

Well, none of us are perfect. I used to be a fan of RealPlayer. With some selective file trimming, you could neuter it's spying abilities.

I washed and dried my Zune. I heard something clanking around in the dryer, but I didn't really think about it.

It came out without a single scratch and it works perfectly still.

This probably works as long as you don't attempt to power up the device until it is dry.

I washed my htc 6800 and it still works... Try that with your iPhone.

My Sansa took a trip through the washing machine and it played fine once dried. Dropped it on concrete, dropped it in a stream, sat on it, left it in the car in August when interior temps hit 150, dog found it and batted it around the floor for 20 minutes, nothing can kill it.

Yeah, I didn't turn it on for a few days. I was more amazed by the lack of physical damage.
