Jeez. The guys over at ArsTechnica went through some lengths to test the breakability of the new iPod nano. Lots of people have expressed concerns over the nano's vulnerable appearance (because it's... thin... and all), so ArsTechnica dropped it on the concrete a couple of times - from various heights and at variable speeds, using a variety of vehicles (legs, bicycle, car... what, no APC?).
Driving over it only killed the LCD, and that's no good. It took a 40 ft. free fall onto the asphalt before nano's ghost finally smashed right into the grave. Of course, ArsTechnica took the opportunity to dissect the whole thing as well after all of this.
Don't try this at home with your Karma, kids.

It could be worse, like cell phone owners dropping their phones in the toilet and call for customer service. Hopefully many DAP owners didn't drop their player in the toilet. Sorry, silly thought.
