My iPod nano is dead. I was running today when the music started skipping as if the iPod were a CD player that I was shaking. Then it completely froze. When I tried to restart it, it gave me the “sad iPod” image. Amazingly it started “working” again after a break and being plugged into my computer. Because it wasn’t completely broken, AppleCare wanted me to wait a little longer before I ship it in. Now it won’t turn on again. I’m calling tomorrow morning.

The sad thing is that I have two friends who have submerged their nanos in water and those iPods are still working without problems. My guess is that mine doesn’t like the weather in New Orleans.
