My ipod touch was left out overnight and it rained it was covered completely in water this morning. Can it be saved? How? How can I retrieve information I had stored on it

Dont take this harshly, but you're screwed.

Considering its been completely waterlogged, any attempt of turning it on would most likely short circuit the device, so the only thing you can really do is start over with a new ipod.. Sorry.

when you buy shoes, or something else you have a little bag in the box, take a plastic bag take you ipod in in and the little bag and wait 24h.. and DON'T TRY TO OPEN YOUR IPOD! it will short the circuit it's the best thing i can tell you or buy a new one..
