Nexus S torn down by iFixit

Want to know what's inside a Nexus S? It's not peanut butter or creamy nougat, but it's almost as good. The folks over at iFixit put their screwdrivers on turbo mode and have the Nexus S in a few dozen pieces, here's some of what they found:

* Only the front glass panel is curved, the rest of the touchscreen components are flat as usual.
* It's using the same low-power Broadcomm BCM4329GKUBG WiFi chip as the third generation iPod Touch.
* The internal storage is a SanDisk SDIN4C2 16GB MLC NAND flash chip, so there's none of that soldered in SDcard monkey business we've seen with other recent devices.
* The front facing camera (640x480) and the rear 5MP camera share the same connector and are essentially one unit.
