Put it in a bowl full of white (dry) rice and let the rice pull the water and moisture out of it for a couple of days or a week. Keep the rice new and dry... to continue drawing the water out of it.
It's worked before for a friend of mine.

We put a fan on a monitor that got filled with water for a week and it came out ok.

didnt someone once sy to dunk it in alcohol so and then place it on a bag of rice as the alcohol will make the moisture inside dry up much faster and thus give the moistrue to the rice...??

not sure about the alcohol part epill. i personally wouldn't want to submerge an already fucked ipod into another liquid...but that is just me.
i know the bag of rice thing has worked though. it also may depend on how much liguid actually got into the inner-workings/how long it sat in the liguid.

I've heard that you should not try to turn it on, otherwise it may cause short circuit.
I think iRice™ is gonna work.

let me guess, it was in your shirt pocket and when you went to flush the toilet...
plop.
I would say that depending on pre or post urination it might work when dry. Give it a week or so becuase if you try and power it up early it will short.

"It was actually more interesting than that. I went to flick a bee that was floating upside down in the pool, slightly twitching.. The cord had a knot in it and was not its usual length. I flicked the bee into the air with my finger and as I did that I slightly pulled the chord and the ipod fell in the water. The bee never hit the ground...it buzzed away in mid air(very quickly). The iPod died, but the bee lived.

So it got dunked in pool water?
It may not ever power up. Was it salt water or chlorine?

Haha yeah dude, most pools here in Oz are saltwater. They arent that salty though, a lot less salty than the ocean.
The saltwater doesnt seem to eat my eyeballs as fast as the chlorine.

I actually washed my cell phone few months ago.
Long story short, I was looking for my phone and I called it. It rang on my trousers pocket, which my gf just took from the washing machine.
It's working, I didn't have to do any tricks
