No Nano Teardowns?

Apparently doing component teardowns of Apple's new iPod Nano are tougher than expected:
For some devices, like the iPhone and the iPod series, iSuppli employs another company to expertly apply acid to get at components. "Sometimes even that doesn't work," said Rassweiler. "The new Nano has us stymied." Even with precision application, he said the acid ate into part of the processor and damaged other parts iSuppli tried to examine.
The new defense against product teardowns? Self-destruction.
