Nook Tablet gets torn down, mysteries of the carabiner unlocked
After last week’s Kindle Fire teardown, Barnes & Noble’s new slate must have been quaking in its boots. The Nook Tablet just had its moment under the knife, courtesy of screw driver-packing site iFixit. There’s really not a whole heck of a lot of surprising things happening inside the $249 device, according to the site. There’s a battery that’s still emblazoned with a “NOOKCOLOR” under the model number, in spite of the new tablet’s better battery life. And then there’s 16GB of storage made by SanDisk and that 1GHz dual-core processor. Lots of shots of tablet guts in the source link below.

Kindle Fire torn down by iFixit, asbestos gloves curiously absent
We already had a pretty good idea of what’s inside the Kindle Fire — basically, the same thing that was inside the BlackBerry PlayBook. But of course we’re still fans of seeing all the circuits and components that make up a modern gadget, and that’s why we love iFixit so much. With gentle touches and tiny tools the disembodied hands here split Amazon’s new hotness in twain and then started pulling out silicon and copper with wild abandon. The teardown is still ongoing, so set those browsers on Refresh, but already the small 4,400mAh battery and 8GB of Samsung flash have been exposed. Click on through to see the rest!

Motorola Droid RAZR hits Verizon stores, iFixit labs
It’s become a rite of passage for any major smartphone — a few hours under the knife (read: dozuki saw!), for the good ‘ol iFixit teardown. Today’s victim is the Motorola Droid RAZR, which happened to hit Verizon stores around the time it arrived at the iFixit labs — so, yes, you can go pick one up today and do this yourself at home, at your own risk and $299 expense, of course. The teardown revealed that most of the key components are on one side of the motherboard, where you’ll find the Toshiba THGBM4G7D2GBAIE 16GB EMMC flash memory module, Samsung K3PE7E700M-XGC1 4GB LPDDR2 RAM, Qualcomm MDM6600 dual-mode baseband/RF transceiver, Motorola T6VP0XBG-0001 LTE processor and other goodies like the combo Bluetooth/WiFi/GPS receiver. Wondering what else Motorola was able to pack neatly below that 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display? Hit up the source link for the full iFixit teardown.

HP Pre 3 death not exaggerated, FCC autopsy reveals Verizon life that never was
While we will never see the Pre 3 adorning the AT&T shelves of phone stores, the FCC at least had the courtesy to investigate HP’s final webOS device in detail, though we doubt they were able to conclude the precise cause of death. The full devastating teardown reveals some Sandisk flash storage, and a tightly packed interior. There’s another interesting detail found in those external images, too. As a previous leak had suggested, this model was destined for the Big Red, with a not-so enigmatic Verizon logo etched into the metallic slide-out backing. The full internal rundown is in the gallery below. Tissues are in that box to your right.

ASUS Transformer Prime, disassembled: NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 sees daylight

Nestled between NAND memory from Hynix and some Elpida RAM is NVIDIA’s great tablet hope, its new quad-core chip. The full gallery of shots has disappeared from the FCC site, but silicon fans can still check out the chipboards in full glory at the source link below.
