Christmas Day 10.30am I received a new ipod shuffle to which there were gasps of amazement accompanied with questions of 'my god that so small you could lose it!'

10.45am Had loaded up my favorite playlist on the the new toy and was 'test driving it.

11.00am Ermmm were has it gone? bugger

Was just wondering if anyone can bet my half an hour of owning an ipod shuffle? still can't find it!

:eek:

I think someone may be playing a joke on you! Do you have some really "fun" family members who could hold out on you and have you sweating? Especially since the comment "my god, that's so small you could lost it." Tell the fam you're going out to buy a new one and maybe they'll cough it up!

30 minutes? Man, that sucks. If you didn't leave your house, there's a good chance it got the infamous "black hole" that every house has. Do you have a cat? If so, there's your answer, lol, as long as someone isn't playing a trick on you.

Good luck finding it!

Good, not quite as bad but more frequent. I loose my apple remote at least twice a day. Always find it that day or the next.
