BlackBerry PlayBook tear apart by iFixit, looks quite common

We know that the PlayBook will not have an integrated email app and calendar yet when going on sale, but what about the rest? Today we look at the actual organs of the PlayBook courtesy of iFixit.com, whom sprints into action when the PlayBook is available from BestBuy.

Apparently thanks to the crew at iFixit, we now know that the PlayBook does have a gyroscope, which wasn’t mentioned on earlier press release. Replacing the front glass would be a bit of a pain to do, but then that’s the case with most portable devices. The motherboard also got a thorough examination, with all the power management, wireless connectivity, and memory chips getting identified and recorded for posterity.

They did their usual study of what it’ll take to repair your own PlayBook should the need ever arise, and gave it a repairability score of 7 out of 10.
