IPOD v. Washing Machine ...
Yes .. it was bound to happen one day.
I left my Ipod Nano in my shirt pocket and it's been through the 'quick cotton' program of my washing machine .... 40 degrees for about one-and-a-half hours.
Could Google suggest something, I wondered?
Well, it appears as though I'm not alone -- seems to be one of those things that will happen to you sooner or later judging by the number of people that have done it.
Anyway, I've left my little friend sitting in the airing cupboard where it will remain until the weekend.
Then I shall put some power into it and see what happens.
To be continued ........

If it was off when it went in it might have a chance. Don't turn it on until it is completely dry!
My mobile once fell into a (full) glass of water by my bed. It was in the glass of water for about 7 hours. It still works.

Electrical devices are less fragile with regards to water than is often thought to be the case. Someone here put his BlackBerry through the wash, and it came out fine after being dried!
The key, as Linda says, is not to turn them on until they are completely dry. If there's a current going through it, components can be shorted out, which is the real danger of getting electrical equipment wet. So I'd leave it as long as you possibly can in there before testing it! Folding a teatowel underneath and sitting it on a moderately warm radiator for a few days is also a possibility.
Also, as a general rule, if the batteries are removable, you should take them out as soon as you possibly can!

I agree with all that, I've dropped my phone in the toilet before! (a clean toilet thankfully!) I immediately took out the battery and left it all to dry and it was fine.Accessify Forum Administrator ~ Nigel Peck / MIS Web Design

I didn't want to say, but much to her embarrassment, that happened to our PA just yesterday. 
She couldn't stand the wait any more, so she turned it on later in the same day—and it's still working!

Sad to say, the little fellow never recovered from his experiences. RIP.

oops. Shame. Sorry to hear it 
Might be worth leaving it a while yet.

I'll probably leave it a few more days and then put it back on charge again for a few hours. Not looking good, though ......

A college of mine dropped hers in the toilet yesterday. I remembered what I've read here and did everything but it didn't survive. I suppose it was a destiny... or it was because it's rescuing took to much time

I have the same problems with my Ipod nano. oh my god...

The most important thing is to let it dry out. But if you already tried it and it didn't work than probably it never will. I jumped into the pool with my Blackberry and took it out, removed the battery and everything and left it to dry. But then my stupid girlfriend found it, put it back together and turned it on! It worked for a few moment and then fell into eternal darkness. That really p___ed me off but what the hell, it's just a phone.

It will probably dry out and be fine. Blow on it, like an old Nintendo cartridge.
