A friend's iPhone got put through the wash by accident also. Still worked. 
Modern electronics are very well sealed. The warranty was invalidated 
though. Flash memory cards are basically sealed so a wash cycle or 2 won't 
hurt them much (normally :) Most of the space inside a flash card is empty 
these days. The actual silicon takes up very little space in a SD card. Just 
look at the size of microSD cards. 

Regards,
Spencer
