On to the jucier bits of this new iPod. Taking this unit apart might feel a bit different than previous models, but that’s probably due to the overall design. Next to the nano, the new iPod is one of the first Apple products that use Apple’s entire in-house design.
You can open the unit using a flat, hard tool like a screwdriver, just like opening a nano, basically. The ideal tool to use should probably be a plastic device, however, to minimize damage to the case.
Once you get the iPod open, among the first things you’re going to notice is the Toshiba 30 GB hard disk, model MK3008GAL, which rotates off the main circuit board. Next is the battery which is super compact and actually affixed to the metal backplate. The battery sits above its own power management circuitry and right next to the headphone port and its driver circuitry.
After pulling away the ultra-diminutive hard drive from the main board, most of the major chips of this device can now be plainly seen. Notice the PortalPlayer 5021C-TDF chip. It’s actually the same chip that powers the iPod nano. Also similar to the nano is the 32 MB of Samsung (534-K9WAG08U1M) SDRAM that serves as the device’s buffer memory, the power management chip Philips CF50607.
The similarity with nano ends right there, because new to the iPod model is the prominently placed Broadcom “VideoCore” chip, the BCM2722. This is the chip that makes the Video iPod a real video iPod, considering how it does all of the heavy video lifting. It replaces the nano’s Wolfson audio codec and adds video processing and output.
This component serves as the heart and soul of the video output layer of the iPod. It does the TV output and decodes and displays the video content. It natively decodes H.264 and MPEG-4 video up to 640x480 which is noticeably higher than what Apple’s specs state are the maximum allowable video resolution.
