It still played.

They also threw it out a car going 50 miles an hour which led to scratches which were awful but the screen still looked readable. Look at the pictures here:

I have yet to see a single picture from a compainer that matches the devastation they are communicating in words. All iPods have always scratched. iPods are pretty. Getting them dirty or scratched is doubly frustrating because they are so pretty. But this story is a lot of kerfluffle about nothing.

Initially I read that the screen scratches easily which leads to it not being usable whatsoever, like a shuffle. That does not seem to be the case.
