Frozen iPod returns from the grave

Score. :-)

A friend of mine lost his ipod touch and found it in the freezer for 3 weeks. He let it thaw and dry for a few days and it has worked perfectly fine for over six months now.

Not really frozen iPod related as such but this reminds me of my friend who lost his trainer in deep snow in Norway.

The people who own the cabin we were staying at posted it back to him in the spring when the snow had melted and but for the fact it was a little greener than it's partner, the trainer was in tip top condition!

If the iPod holds songs purchased on iTunes, the finder could probably run one of them through AtomicParsley and use the e-mail embedded in the file's metadata to try to get in touch with the owner.

am i the only one surprised that people in whitehorse reads TUAW?

I had dropped my ipod nano (1g) in the snow. Lost it for months. Found it (before the thaw) and it still works. It was inside an iSkin case, so now I'll always put 'em in those.

Why not look up the name on the back of the iPod in the phone book and see if he can tell you what songs are on the thing? He or she may not read TUAW.

I was there last christmas please send it back to me-

Thanks,

Sanat Claus

"Hey, is that a frozen iPod in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"

I found a shuffle in an airline seat back and called Apple with the serial number. They contacted the owner and it was returned. Didn't even know it was missing. That should work for the iPod Classic if there is an account associated with the device.

Is the name Nick Gerz?
