Want to see what the inside of the new iPod nano looks like? Of course you do and it turns out so do the guys at iFixit.com who have spent the day ripping one apart literally.

The outcome? Seems that Apple really has packed in the technology as much as they can with no room, as CEO Steve Jobs confirmed to put in a still camera alongside a video one.

Choice findings from Kyle and his team include gems like:

"This iPod employs copious amounts of glue and adhesive to hold everything together. That makes it easy for Apple to put together, but hard to take apart. We had to remove the camera bezel before we could start the disassembly."

And

"Including the mount, the iPhone camera is thicker than the ENTIRE new iPod nano!"

Looks like when this one breaks you'll be buying a new one rather than trying to repair it.
