The folks over at iFixit have gotten their tool-sporting hands all over the new iPod touch, giving Apple’s latest music player the customary detailed teardown. The alien autopsy-esque dissection reveals the device’s A5 processor, flash memory from Toshiba and a lot of parts secured firmly in place. The latter, naturally, has led to a pretty dismal repairability score for the touchscreen player — a three out of 10 — nothing new, really, for Cupertino products, though the company seemed to be moving in the other direction with the new iPhone. Check the source link below for all the gory details — and yes, iFixit even goes so far as calling the device’s home button “weak.” Oh snap, guys.

Posted in: Today's Chili 
Within the past few weeks alone, we’ve spotted the cautious hands of the folks over at iFixit dive very carefully into that Retina-friendly MacBook Pro, the other MBP and, naturally, Apple’s ultrathin MacBook Air. Oh, and how could we forget Google’s newest slate, the Jelly Bean-loaded Nexus 7. Luckily for you, if you’re a die-hard fan of all those fancy teardowns and guides, now you’ll have an easier place to browse your way through them in their entirety; thanks to the site’s recently launched Android application. Even better, however, the app’s an open source one, allowing users to tinker with it and add any enhancements they deem necessary. The iFixit: Repair Manual application, as it’s simply dubbed, is up for grabs now at no charge from the Google Play store — link for that is just down below.
