iFixit takes iPad to pieces

Most of us probably haven't even got our hands on our iPads yet, but the folks at iFixit are already taking one apart. Then again, that's what they do--they don't feel pity or remorse, and they will absolutely will not stop, ever, until the iPad is dead.

So far, the iFixit team has discovered a few little interesting tidbits. For one, it's pretty easy to do the initial disassembly with a plastic spudger--you won't need a heat gun or other intensive equipment. Most of the space inside the iPad, as you might expect, is taken up by the big lithium-ion batteries that give you those ten hours of video watching that Steve Jobs bragged about. The Wi-Fi model also has a nice gap for the 3G module.
