Reuters reporters take a peek inside the iPad to reveal its design and components, and bring you news from Apple stores around the country.

What makes an iPad tick? These guys will tell you

Come Saturday, while many of you are enjoying your new iPad — doing a little e-reading, perhaps playing a game — Kyle Wiens and Luke Soules will be ripping theirs apart.  Not because they are crazy or angry or anti-Apple.

The design and components that make it tick. Read all about it in a Special Report by Gabriel Madway.

Below are the guys who will make the magic happen, plus a shot of their workshop.
