Wonderful gadget – a water-proof iPod Shuffle

These kind of gadgets and technology I love. I forgot my iPod Shuffle in my jogging trousers and I washed it…

It was one of those moments when you didn´t think carefully. After jogging it was my turn to load our washing machine.

Maybe I was exhausted somehow. Without noticing the existence of my tiny green iPod Shuffle (older version) in the back pocket and its earplugs (Sennheiser) I was putting dirty laundry into the machine. And turned on it.

I was shocked after washing. The grimace was extraordinary. Naturally, several bad words were yelled.

Quickly unzipping the pocket of my black jogging trousers and there it was – the earphones wrapped up around the green and marvellous buddy.

You should have seen my happy face after turning the power on. Even the temperature of 60 Celsius and 1200 rpm – iPod was in perfect working order. And still is.

Thank you Steve (Jobs) and your wonderful team in California. I admire your desire to make gadgets that really work!
