The ipod nano-taken apart

Don’t we all love to see stuff thats ripped into parts? In case you do, TechnologyReview had a good time opening up an Ipod nano and enumerating its contents.

For example, did you know that iot has 4 MB of SDRAM as general RAM for the operating system? Or did you know that they switched the manufacturers for their clickwheel controller?

You can find out more at their “effect-loaded” web site here-dont try visiting it with your Treo btw, as there is nothing to see imho. You may need a full web browser:
