"Apple's iPad 2 tablet, which became available Friday, boasts a big battery, tiny speakers, an ample 512MB of RAM and a glass front that's tricky for tinkerers to take off. That's the upshot froman initial teardown of the new Apple tablet (http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/031211-ipad2-teardown-apple-ifixit.html) by iFixit, which specializes in Apple product repair. IFixit warns that those who dare to peer into the insides of the iPad 2 on their own risk cracking the glass front panel, which is thinner than that from the original iPad (0.62 mm vs. 0.85 mm) and glued on rather than attached via tabs. A heat gun was needed by iFixit to disassemble the device."http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/03/13/147240/IPad-2-Teardown-Shows-Tablets-Guts
