Beyond the obvious human toll of last week's Foxconn factory explosion, there's been speculation about how the incident may affect Apple's iPad 2 production.



From MacRumors:

Some analysts have already suggested that the production impact should be minimal, but now China Times is reporting more definitively that the iPad would not be affected based on comments from Foxconn to suppliers. Sources said the explosion at Foxconn Technology Group?s Chengdu plant did not affect the assembly line of iPad.
