It is good to see an American company,
with American talent,
making products with worldwide impact,
clearly demonstrating the superior nature
of American entrepreneurial spirit

AND making a lot of money at it
AND doing so in the face of ferocious competition
AND ubiquitous naysayers

Yes, a good American product manufactured in Communist China.

95%+ of the ipad is made in Commie China and Taiwan. (my guess) You would be hard put to find a chip actually made here but it might well have been designed in USA by Apple or a US partner

As far as the intellectual efforts to design and make such a device. My guess is 60-65% by Apple meaning American talent or at least foreigners laboring for Apple

The rest of the intellectual effort is Taiwanese and from Mainland China. (my guess)
