Always On - Torture test: Kids vs. the iPod Touch

cnet.com/alwayson
Will the new iPod Touch withstand grubby Cheetos fingers or sticky fruit punch? We find some kids to give the iPod Touch a good ol' torture. Oh, and we also freeze it, heat it, and drop it! See if it survives.

Kid: *_Throws iPod at the ground_* Lady: “Good job! Good job!”

[@DrNarwhalable]

*Throws iPod at the ground* "that was actually really realistic, I've done that a bunch of times". WHY ARE YOU THROWING YOUR ELECTRONIC DEVICES AT THE GROUND?!

[@mclste]

It's such an inconvenience when I pull out my iPhone and "drop it" with some force

[@bunni975]

I know right, Because I dont have a case and such, I also hate when I accidentally microwave my iPod and give it to kids who are meant to destroy it, Dang it!

[@TheGamingGeek2001]

[@FordBibb]

“Maybe we should do a normal drop now” “Slams it on ground..... hmmm it fell” YoU dOn’T sAy Also is it really so tricky to unplug some headphones

[@robertoaguilar3820]

Two drops?!?! You mean two slams into the ground!!!! Who would grab out their iPod to switch songs and slam it into the ground?!!

[@MrBigdaddy1021]

god damn she threw it like she was playin baseball! a drop would be a small jugle at 3 or 4 feet. or sliding of the bed or being nocked off the counter top. i think she ruined that part of the test

[@r.wa2003]

THAT DROP TEST HAD ME IN STITCHES "Oh no(!)"

[@r.wa2003]

She threw it like a ninja star 😂

[@chasejensen8268]

I wish they still made this show

[@1234nikster]

Chase Jensen right??

[@adeleish]

The way how the kids threw it on the ground was way more realistic than the original "drop" test.. And see? No damage from the kids!

[@Kleo3392]

Oh ya that was the most realistic drop ever I always slam my iPod down to the ground while walking down the stree.

[@bellemacaskill2]

I Never Let ANYONE Touch My IPod, Even When They Are Eating Because 1) No One Wants Food Or Drinks On It and 2) It Might Fall And Break.

[@rgzesdbjkhger]

[@akashiluddi]

+akashi luddi ummm.....okay

[@nullzweii]

She slammed it hard the 1st time and the 2nd time she threw it too , and also i've never seen someone throw there ipod like that unless there really mad then they might slam it like the 1st time she threw it... waist of money she probably bot like 6 ipods , shame on u..!

[@amigo1234ist]

its called a case

[@spacephase9836]

"2 hours in a freezer" and a "cold car" are two totally different things

[@exdee9]

called a torture test for a reason bro

[@paxtoncat9795]

My iPod has been dropped without a case face first into concrete tons of time, and it's still perfect!

[@jacksavard8192]

Same here!

[@Liam-vx4fg]

Yeah me to weird

[@mwilk172]

Omg! Yass it dropped in the church washroom and never broke, but i have the ipod 6

[@emman4665]

Same!

[@axnn1]

My iPod 6th gen was on my lap in the car and when I got out it went face first into concrete with a case and the LCD Broke but the glass was fine ;( I'm so unlucky

[@jeffgroves4533]

The freeze test is nothing. I left my iPod 5 in the car for a week in the winter sitting at the airport. I was on vacay and the IPod was in there the whole time. It didn’t die or break:)

[@keepcalmandloveblue]

I don't think those kids would do that if u didnt tell them to

[@Gm4n4t0r27]

My iPod Touch has survived about 7 drops. Though it never landed on the screen, it was one tough music player when faced by the cement, tile, and wood. No cracks, no dents, only one tiny divot on the bottom.

[@mikewolf5367]

Oh Molly Wood, how you're missed. :(

[@inflixo36]

What happened

[@mikewolf5367]

She left CNET in 2013 for other ventures.

[@dommovizzo3168]

Way to start off children's educations with 'I wanna destroy expensive things that could possibly mean something to another person.' Lets give a round of applause for this lady.

[@gusgumery990]

Stop teaching your kids to destroy stuff

[@noeliamanion]

Omg she's actually encouraging kids to stomp in iPods and throw them and stuff!!!! I HAVE BEEN DYING FOR AN IPOD AND LOOK WHAT SHES DOING

[@yusifmumuni8889]

the reason the iPod got destroyed that second drop is because i chucked it at the ground if you didn't do that it would still be functional

"not be careful and have SEX.."?? WTF

[@nikahatt]

In the very first "drop" test, she completely flung that thing on the ground as hard as possible. Just look how hard she flicks her wrist. I don't think that's very fair.

[@biggiecheesewitit8581]

[@afrayazdan-parast9268]

your right

[@creamturtleneck3411]

Actually tbh I have a iPod 4th generation and it's a tank. I threw it against a tree and put it in a blender. There were only two dents not big at all. It is not very powerful when it comes to tech. But I don't think they make them anymore so you can correct me on that.

[@shannonbriggs100]

Stop crying like a baby. Just because you're too poor to buy it doesn't mean other people can't have it. They bought it, they can do whatever the hell they want with it. How about instead of bitching in the KZbin comments, you go outside and earn the money yourself to buy it?

[@fireballgames4829]

i hope u get an iPod 5th gen :)

[@shannonbriggs100]

***** Well isn't that very mature of you; not agreeing with someone because of their apparent 'gay' appearance. I'm sure your parents are very proud of you... You'll surely get far in life with the thought process you have!

Not saying its common for something to be hurled at the ground but it does happen. My friend was drunk and she threw her iPhone at the ground. She meant to throw a ball that was in her other hand.

[@rachelrusso1028]

when she was like let me change this song and threw the ipod on the ground and said "oh no"! that was terrible acting skills

Is it me, or does it seem weird that she’s saying “good job” to children who are trying to break the iPod.

[@heresbutler]

Bring the torture test back!! Please cnet

[@noaht124]

You can't throw it at the ground and not expect it to be damaged... both times you chucked it at the ground... you should really do a more realistic drop like holding it up to take a pic and it slips out of your hand...

[@wooooby]

Cnet: teaching kids that it's okay to drop, stomp on, touch with nasty hands, and spill juice on expensive devices.

[@xxgolddoesmcxx]

"Drop test?" She pulled it out and whipped it through the air.

[@cb-xh2cj]

*i truly do hate it when i accidentally chuck mY IPOD TO THE GROUND AT FULL FORCE*

[@obesedog23]

It appears that way, but what do you think they do with cars before they sell them? They crash test TONS of them. These iPod Touches at most cost $400, while the cars can cost upwards of $30,000. I realize it's not nearly as important to test the iPod's in the same way because there's not any safety hazards, but they spent under 4 digits, which isn't much especially considering they're a new's broadcasting station.

[@kurmatt]

That Was The Most Unrealistic Drop Ever You Threw It On The Floor

[@mmtv581]
