I am guessing that from here on out anything that comes out of apple is going to be magical and or revolutionary except the iPad and iPhone 4 since they have som many problems.

iFixit provided a teardown of Apple’s newest device, the Magic Trackpad. The teardown reveals some great design but at the same time a not easy to repair product. “We’ve noticed a trend about Apple’s newer products: thin and pretty = not user serviceable. The Magic Trackpad is no exception,” iFixit said. In addition, the Magic Trackpad has an interesting mechanism of triggering a click. It is using the front rubber feet to push upwards to the case. “The Magic Trackpad has a unique way of triggering the mouse button. As you press down on the top surface of the Trackpad, the two rubber feet near its front edge push up on the hinged plate and set screw attached to the chassis. This squeezes the electronic mouse button switch, producing the characteristic ‘click’,” iFixit said.
iFixit also provides a list of electronics found inside the device. “At the heart of the Magic Trackpad’s logic board lies a Broadcom BCM2042 for Bluetooth connectivity. This is the same chip used by the Magic Mouse for data transmission. We found a Broadcom BCM5974 touch screen controller chip provides Multi-touch functionality. This is the same chip you’ll find in the iPhone, iPod Touch, and MacBook Air. Also, an SST 25WF020 provides 2 Mbit of serial flash memory,” iFixit said.
