Today is the day that the first wave of iPad minis hits the market, though most of the first devices sold out in the first few minutes of availability. But the website iFixit got its hands on one of the devices early and performed a teardown, offering consumers an early peek inside the fancy new technology.

Once they worked their way into of the complex device using a special tool that loosens the adhesive holding the glass on the front of the machine, the team went to work taking inventory of all of the parts within.

While iFixit officially exists so that people can learn ways to repair their equipment on their own, the teardowns performed by the company are particularly popular among the tech crowd, because it gives them a first glance under the hood of a new device.

The teardown most notably uncovered two stereo speakers, refuting claims from the Amazon camp that the iPad mini came equipped with only mono sound. The report also stated that the copious amounts of adhesive used by Apple to keep the device together were the most difficult to contend with in terms of getting inside.

But as most consumers don't buy their devices based on the relative difficulty of breaking into them, the sleek design of the iPad mini is a good thing. The team revealed quality parts that had been assembled well, making the tablet a sound investment for anyone who is thinking about buying one.
