Last year, Adam and Carmen both asked for iPods for Christmas.Uncle Keith came out of retirement and cancelled a tropical vacation in order to trade Steve Jobs some money for two engraved iPods for his neice and nephew. Carmen's white iPod is still in mint condition, but Adam's black iPod has finally given up the ghost. I've not recorded all the stress tests that Adam has applied, but I wanted to share just a few:
1. Left it in his pocket for Grandma to wash ( and tumble dry )
2. Drop it
3. Drop it on concrete
4. Run through crowded restaurants with cord swinging until it catches a chair which slingshots the iPod from his pocket into a neighboring chair
5. Football players punch him in the chest while he has it in his pocket
6. Football players smack it out of his hands while he is listening to it
7. Slam the Jeep door on it.

In 6 of the 7 listed trials, returning the iPod to its charging station has amazingly restored it's ability to function. In the last trial, it failed.... nothing is perfect, but this device is well engineered.
