While various firms have conducted teardowns of the new iPad, with one company even flying techs out to Australia to be the first to buy and strip the new iPad, the latest one from IHS iSuppli has come up with an estimate on the "bill of materials" (BOM), or just the hardware components of the iPad, at $316. The total represents a roughly 21-25 percent increase in the costs, which has not been reflected in the retail price, reports AllThingsD.
