FCC iPad Images Reveal Broadcom Chip, Apple A4, Toshiba Flash Memory
A closer look at the FCC images reveal that the obscured chip parts were actually blacked out with a layer embedded in the PDF. A quick manipulation reveals the actual underlying chips that had been covered for "confidentiality".
Unsurprisingly, the main processor is an Apple A4, but the new images reveal that Apple is using Toshiba Flash memory and a Broadcom BCM5973 chip. iFixit is doing a full analysis of the newly revealed images. Perhaps the main point of interest is that the battery is not soldered in place.

Have we learned nothing about using layers to "black out" things in PDFs?

Whoever made this PDF is gonna see some heat...
Eh, it's coming out tomorrow and everyone will have an opportunity to crack one open and photograph and analyze every inch of it. This just allows everyone to see a day earlier.

256GB iPad by 2012? Seems likely!

doesn't matter if the ipad comes out tomorrow. whoever screwed up should be fired because they breached confidentiality. either because they are reckless or stupid. maybe this time it doesn't matter but there will be other times where it damages somebodies business.
