What's wrong with my iPod Nano?

I just got one of the new iPod Nanos a few days ago, and it worked fine when I first took it out of the box. Now it's like it's frozen, and nothing happens whenever i push a button or use the scroll-wheel-thingy. What's wrong with it? Why won't it work? And how can I fix it??? Thanks a lot!! Big hearts!! :)

Update:

i've tried restarting it billions of times. that is not the solution, i don't think......i didn't get it wet or anything. one second it was working fine, the next it wasn't...:( i also tried charging it on the computer and that didn't work either!!!!!!!!!

    reset your ipod

    Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)

    Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

    new nano's can often be buggy like this at first. try pressing the select and menu buttons together until it restarts. if not plug it in to your computer or go to the apple store.

    There's the simple fix. It could be on hold. In more complicated situations where it's not on hold, then it could be something you or the store did. If you did something (i.e. got it wet, dropped it), then sometimes you can fix it, but you might have to buy a new one. In situations where the store did something (i.e. shipping, empolyees dropping it), then you can go back to the store and return it for a new one.
