The oil was about as dirty as it normally gets when we dump it; dark enough that it got opaque within 2-4 inches (maybe?). The iPod happened to fall into the container used to transport it from the fryer to the disposal container outside. There were also crumbs and the like from the stuff cooked in the fryer (chicken fingers, waffle fries, and the like), though I didn't see anything like that on the unit when I pulled it out -- which I want to say I did within two seconds of it falling into the oil.

As far as getting the oil out... I don't even know how to open up an iPod Touch. As I've mentioned before, I have it standing up to (hopefully) allow the oil to drain thru the ports & speaker. I've been checking on it and moving it every time I see an oil stain, which I think have been getting progressively smaller.
