My iPod survived the washing machine!

I won my iPod Shuffle (1gb) last year at our company dinner. Ever since I got it, I was amazed at what it can do for its small size and really love it. I’ve used the bigger Nano before, but for sheer usability it is the iPod Shuffle that trumps the rest. After I attach it to my Beyerdynamics headphones, its like there’s nothing at the jack! So I bring it along with me all the time during flights and bus rides.
It is so portable, but yet the sound coming from it is just great.
And there’s one more thing that is just absolutely amazing. On a trip two weeks back, I left the Shuffle in my shirt pocket and it went in with the shirt to the washing machine – and it survived! At first after 1 day of drying, the thing didn’t start up and I thought it was dead for sure, although I read about some crazy dude doing the same thing in a beer. But being able to survive a washing machine with its detergent, spinning, temperature changes and of course the water – wow!
So if you’re in for a music player and a tough one that you can actually bring around without having to worry if you’ll scratch it or care too much for it, get the iPod Shuffle! …. And it sounds great too! I sure wouldn’t use the bigger iPods as much as the Shuffle. I mean I just want to listen to music, whenever, where-ever!
