I await a tear down :) Meanwhile some people ripped one apart as they seem to do with all new high priced stuff and attempted to give a rough idea of how much it costs to make/profit margins and all that. Only short this, as I don't want to waste my life looking at more Apple garbage than I really have to.

Behold TeH Ipad :/ :

"Apple stands to make a profit of up to $483 per unit on its iPad according to a very literal breakdown by industry analysts iSuppli. The research firm said the total cost of materials and manufacture for Apple's big iPhone ranged from $229.35 for the 3G-less, 16GB version, which sells for $499 to $346.5 for the top of the range 3G 64GB version, which carries a $829 price tag."
