Lytro Light Field Camera’s guts get spilled on the FCC’s dancefloor

There’s a scene in Robocop 2 , where our eponymous hero is set-to with an angle grinder and dumped in pieces outside the Detroit Police station. Now replace the cybernetic Alex Murphy with the Lytro Light Field camera and you’ll know what was found on the sidewalk opposite from the FCC’s concrete bunker this morning. Interesting tidbits revealed in the government-sponsored autopsy included a questionably small Zoran imaging chip and Marvell Avastar W8787 wireless SoC — but the company’s already swiftly denied it’ll have WiFi capability.

Xiaomi Phone gets dissected, phone status confirmed

The Xiaomi Phone managed to pique our interest by packing a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor into a fairly sleek, inexpensive package — and, like all interesting new devices, it’s now been torn completely apart. You can thank the folks at LeiPhone for doing the hard work in this case, the results of which can be found at the source link below. We’ll soon also have some more impressions of the (intact) phone ourselves, and it looks like Xiaomi will be giving its own forum members the first crack at pre-orders for the device.

Sony Vaio Z gets the in-house teardown treatment (video)

Another official teardown, another predictable revelation: the new Sony Vaio Z ‘s viscera are thinner, flatter and, er, more compressed than those of its predecessor. But at least this dissection is performed by an actual Vaio engineer who ought to know his stuff. In the video after the break, Shinji Oguchi explains how cooling was improved using a range of tricks, like aerating the laptop’s guts via holes in the keyboard.

New Mac mini gets iFixit teardown treatment, leaves space for 2nd hard drive

Wouldn’t ya know it, iFixit is at it again — this time, tearing down the new Mac mini . At first glance, the only noticeable difference is the inclusion of the powerful Thunderbolt port

Nokia N9 arrives at FCC, opened up to see where all the MeeGo comes from

That most heavenly hunk of MeeGo , the Nokia N9 , has passed through our government’s most holy of hallways, delivering full external and internal photos to show us what’s happening at every level. If you had any doubt this will be a world phone, tests confirming quadband 2G and pentaband 3G (2100/1900/1700/900/850 MHz) should put those to rest, while 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi spread over 2.4 and 5GHz means it’ll be quick to download the goods around the house. Models with 16 and 64GB are shown, though squint all we could we couldn’t count the difference on the teardown pics, which you can enjoy for yourself in the gallery below.

iFixit tears down new MacBook Air, beholds the miracle of backlighting

Warranties be damned, iFixit got its hands on the newly announced MacBook Air and immediately did its thing, digging into the super-thin laptop like a kid at Christmas. Not all that much to see from the outside of the device, save for that new Thunderbolt port and some shiny new keyboard backlighting
