iFixit tears down iPad 2

We love the iFixit team and their singleminded dedication to getting their mitts on the latest, greatest Apple gear -- just so they can take it all to pieces. Tonight's piece de disassemblement is, of course, the iPad 2; you can see their complete takeapart here.

Not too many surprises in the new build, although now the front panel is glued to the case (on the original iPad, it was clipped in), making it harder to disassemble. The new bits of hardware (cameras and gyroscope, along with the magnets and sensor for the Smart Cover) were all identified, cataloged and photographed.

Any confirmation on whether the A5 is a Cortex A8 or Cortex A9?

Can't tell by the article, is the rear camera the same as the iPhone 4, or the crappy one that is in the 4th gen. iPod touch???

Hey, I own an iPod Touch 4G! Yeah the camera is sub-par, but it still takes some decent pix. I believe the reports are that camera is very similar.
