Kindle Fire torn down by iFixit, asbestos gloves curiously absent

We already had a superior idea of what is contained in the Kindle Fire — basically, an identical thing that was contained in the BlackBerry PlayBook . But without a doubt we’re still fans of seeing each of the circuits and components that make up a fashionable gadget, and that’s the reason why we adore iFixit such a lot. With gentle touches and tiny tools the disembodied hands here split Amazon’s new hotness in twain after which started pulling out silicon and copper with wild abandon. The teardown continues to be ongoing, so set those browsers on Refresh, but already the small 4,400mAh battery and 8GB of Samsung flash was exposed. Click through to work out anything!
