After the Apple iPad announcement, we received a lot of questions about the potential of this device to be repaired. We are not sure how complex this device is, or how modular the replacement parts will be. What we do know is that we will support all models of the Apple iPad for repairs and diagnostics. Judging by the design, we are sure that there will be several replaceable parts such as the iPad LED back-lit screen, iPad mainboard, iPad battery, and more.

As you can see, the iPad looks like an iPod touch on steroids.   Just a larger version with the assumption that most parts inside will be serviceable.
