iFixIt iPad teardown reveals interesting information once again

iFixIt, the company responsible taking all of our favorite and shiny new gadgets has already gotten their hands on the iPad and stripped it to its bare parts. As always, you can follow their step by step guide posted on their site if you are truly interested in how to take it apart the right way. However, what may be more interesting is what the iFixIt team found inside of the iPad. For instance, the iPad has two battery packs wired in parallel that hold 5.5 times the capacity of the iPhone.

Apple iPad has hardware for camera, just no camera

One of the biggest disappointments for me at the iPad media event was the lack of a camera. With a device that has such a large, beautiful screen, it would only make sense to me to be able to either video chat or take pictures with it (with the former being the slickest). However, it doesn’t surprise me that Apple kept the camera out of the first generation of the model. After all, they do need something “new” to have for the second gen, don’t they? Apparently so, according to images and data from Mission Repair.
