FCC shows off internal shots of iPad

Typically the iFixit guys are the first to post pictures of dismantled Apple hardware, but this time it's the FCC, and the hardware is the iPad.

Engadget has the shots of the iPad's internals. Before you get too excited, note that the FCC took the time to cover up the specific chips, so we'll have to wait until iFixit breaks open their own to get those details. However, we do get a good look at the display, that slot that could hold a camera, the big 'ol battery, logic board and more. Hardware geeks will want to check this out.

Now this should assuage your need to take your own iPad apart, right?

I'm guessing that empty spot in the bottom right is where the 3G radio will plug in.

Not really :/ someone at FCC tried to scoop. They violated Apple's request for confidentiality in doing so. According to the Request for Confidentiality letter from Apple to FCC (cited on FCC's website no less), Apple requested 180 days of confidentiality from the date of the letter February 18, 2010. Whoops! Check out the FCC's page for all documents related to the iPad:
