[bb6c632dfeb]"What does it take to destroy an iPod nano, and what's inside this tiny package? We wanted to answer both questions and strangely enough answering the first allowed us to answer the second. We could take our turns at purposely rendering the iPod nano broken, and then when it had endured more damage than it could handle we'd end its misery with a respectful autopsy. Now, we know that destroying the iPod nano makes some (strange) grown men want to cry. Rest assured, you can still buy one yourself, and the local priest said all iPod nanos go to heaven."[/bb6c632dfeb]

Kind of interesting to see what's inside. Strange they aren't using Samsung memory in the two GB

Its flash based, it should take a beating and still work. That was the whole point of going flash based. I liked seeing the guts of it but I think they would've been smarter to just open it up...

I've seen it before... And it's just so horrbily frightening.
I can't wait until I get to a point in my life where i have spare money to throw away like this. But I wonder if they'll be able to get the screen replaced since Apple has agreed to replace malfunktoning ones.
