Destroying the iPod Nano

How hard is it to destroy an iPod Nano? Well the guys from ArsTechnica took it on a little adventure and let’s just say they know what the guts of the Nano look like.
The iPod Nano incurred the following tests:
1. Sitting on the iPod Nano
2. Dropping it while jogging (4-6mph),
3. Dropping at various speeds: 8-10mph (slow bicycle), 15-20mph (fast bicycle), 30mph (slow car), and 50mph (fast car)
4. Dropping the Nano from various heights.
Once they realized that the above wasn’t going to stop the Impossibly Indestructible Nano, they decided to run it over in a CAR. First attempt failed, and the screen still displayed. They ran it over again, killed the screen, but the music played on. They finally destroyed the Nano by hurling it 40 feet into the air and letting it crash to the ground.

must have been fake tests, presumably financed by Apple. If you sit down with the Nano in your backpocket it’ll die. And you don’t have to be that fat…
