About LinkBacksI'm pondering applying a magnet to my ipad1. I have read here that the ipad1 does not have a hard drive, but I just called apple and the teenager I spoke with says they do have a hard drive. Can someone please confirm? PLEASE!

It does not have a moving / mechanical hard drive. It has flash storage.

Hard drives traditionally use a rotating disk that stores information using magnetism. The iPad used a SSD (solid state drive) that stores information in a different manner.

Magnets ok?
Thank you all for your responses. Just to clarify... by applying a magnet to my iPad1 (NOT ipad2) I am not putting my precious toy at ANY risk? I don't want to hurt her in anyway

Like I said, you need a HUGE magnet to affect it.
Hey, I am in the shower with my iPad.

Just curious - WHY do you want to apply a magnet to your iPad1 (pretty much the same question w/ the iPad2)?

Also, keep in mind that the 'smart covers' which many of us use attach magnetically to the side of the iPad -
