Need to recover iPod hard drive after dropping in salt water!?!

I have a iPod with pictures downloaded to it. I dropped the iPod into saltwater at the beach and was wondering if there is a way to recover the drive. Is there a way to remove the drive and use a third party device to power the drive? Any other ideas?

Thanks for your input!!!

Need to read/write to or retrieve your valuable data from the small 1.8" Toshiba™ hard drive that is inside you Apple™ iPod™ and small Notebook computers? The new Toshiba 1.8" ZIF to 2.5" IDE connector or the 1.8" 50-pin IDE to 2.5" connector from Addonics are the perfect tool. It will enable you to attach this small 1.8" hard drive, just like a 2.5" IDE hard drive, to any computers. By adding the Addonics 2.5" to 3.5" converter kit, you can also connect this 1.8" hard drive to the standard 40 pins IDE cable commonly found on any desktop, server and most industrial PCs. You now can easily read or write onto this little hard drive with ease using your Notebook or Desktop PC in various applications such as Data Backup, a Boot drive, Forensic examination and others.
