iFixit disassembles 2nd gen iPod shuffle



You know the drill: Apple announces something, it starts shipping, people take pics of the unpacking, and then someone rips it apart (literally). iFixit has posted a disassembly guide for the 2nd Gen iPod shuffle, so if you want to make sure that there aren't little gnomes selecting the music for you, now you know how.

Thanks, Jonathan.

You can't fool me. The gnomes are still in there, they are just smaller...due to global warming.

Of course there aren't gnomes IN the shuffle. Gnomes BUILT the shuffle.* How else could such a small device be assembled?

*Not an insult to the Chinese workers who actually built it.

that's very cool - though there's not much inside the shuffle. it seems too small to have very many parts.

here's a good review of the shuffle on digg - some photos, too.

iFixit Rocks! Another thumbs up for the guys at iFixit. Took that sucker apart the day before it hit the market.
iFixit saved me a ton when my iBook hard drive went South. It was step by step with photos. The Mac store told me it was not worth repairing.
Thanks Guys,

wow, first time I've seen the new ipod shuffle. I feel like it's TOO small, you could easily loose that sucker. Anyways, who would want to disassemble it anyways?

"disassemblies"? Practicing your Gollum-speak, eh? 8^)
