Well this just makes me want Glass even more - I wouldn't be able to resist taking it apart!

Great, now put it back together. I am the worst at reassembly of electronics I would have wasted +-$1,500.

I put it back together and it works fine! Only, it has suffered some irreversible cosmetic damage..

I see a chip marked SIRF - does it have GPS?

It looks that way. The SIRF chip is marked as GSD4e.

I hope so, as this will enable Google Maps-like functionality.

Down for me due to a Cloudflare error: "DNS Points to Prohibited IP".

So based on the teardown, anyone want to predict what the MSRP will be?
