I am trying the low-tech approach of leaving the battery out and covers open in a warm window seat for some gentle heat right now, but so far it is not working right. I am in the market if someone has an Axim, Ipaq, or palm that hasn't taken a plunge!

You could try what I did this past December to my Axim. I tumbled it in the dryer for about twenty minutes on med heat! It was in the pocket of my polartec jacket and the cat was sleeping on it. So to remove the cat hair I tossed the jacked and unknowingly the Axim in the dryer!
Twenty minutes later and I pulled the jacket out and the PDA. I found it in the pocket, turned it on and it still worked!
As for water, my guess is that it is toast.
