Chipworks, a firm that specializes in reverse engineering, has recently opened up an iPad to look at the hardware. They released a report detailing the internals of Apple’s new tablet. What they found is that is uses almost indentical hardware to that of the iPod touch. The iPad is comprised of a small circuit board (that is almost identical to the iPod touch’s) along with a giant battery. Chipworks calls the iPad ‘a giant battery with a tiny [circuit] board attached to it’ — and looking at the picture above, you can definitely see why!
So if you are in the market for an iPad , be aware that you are basically paying for a touchscreen with iPod touch guts and a gigantic battery (filled with unicorn blood).
