This guy has disassembled the iPad, so that we can answer this and other important questions.

To it's credit, the iPad continued working while he was breaking it in half.  Impressive.

Yea! I wonder if it would even blend. You can literally hammer nails with them.

I'd like to see him actually blend that crowbar. My theory is that you'd hear a dozen Half Life 1-esque crowbar hitting sounds before the thing explodes into a disproportionately sized mess of confetti and submachinegun ammunition.
