I pass this one on as it's certainly worth a try.
My lovely Singapore auntie has passed on a cutting that links to a Yahoo group that I can't access or figure out, so you'll just have to take my version.
Basically if you drop anything electronic - mobile, iPod, Blackberry - in water it's pretty much a goner.
However... there is a last ditch solution: rice.
If it isn't already, switch it off and get it in sealed container of rise asap.
24 hrs later you may find you're back to being good to go.
I am guessing that a container of silica gel will work even better, but you can't eat it afterwards, whereas, depending on where you dropped the thing (loo or a puddle probably not a good idea you might want to risk it.
I figure salt water is pretty much a killer any which way.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
