The dissection of touch

iPod Touch, to be precise.
I just love it when they take these things appart and explain them in terms such as "that yellow cable atop the Apple-branded square thingy below the . 3.7 V Lithium-ion polymer battery. Yes sir, powering up the teleporter. Engage."

Wallace and Gromit, formerly of Anti-Pesto, have taken up part-time modeling for Harvey Nichols. They present us with an amazing transformation, which, in a wierd way, actually looks cracking great!
