In that vein, I've heard multiple reports of the Shuffles going through the washing machine and surviving -- at least once. I know someone who washed theirs twice, and, unfortunately, it didn't survive the second time.



This, I think, would be the types of things a pocket-sized electronic device would fall victim to in the hands of a human still growing up. (either kid human or "adult" human!) It's nice to see that the Shuffle holds up quite well.

The Nano, OTOH, I doubt would fare as well.
