Mon iPod, il est mort

In case none of you speak French (damn you, Latin students and your GenCon trip) or don't know basic French words, the title translates to basically say that my iPod is dead as a doornail. Yesterday morning at the bus stop, it wouldn't turn on. Since then, it hasn't returned to life, and now my iTunes program on my computer doesn't even recognize it. So, I'll either have to exchange it, or have the Geek Squad (or whatever they call themselves) at the Apple Store fix it. Go figure.
