   yes, I read about this the other day - kind of scary - new technology always comes with new problems. Am curious to see what becomes of this issue - if Apple fixes it (as a future improvement) with time.

   I wouldn't call it scary. I would call it much ado about nothing. Anything that has a processor and a battery is going to generate heat. I'm amazed they don't generate more than they do.

   P.S it Not So Hot: New iPad Heat Levels Comparable to Android Tablets or less see PC World fist post

   A line in the report — and later removed — said the temperature was nearly as hot as the average temperature in Death Valley. That sounds bad.

   It’s like Consumer Reports trolls the Web to see what people are complaining about and they put that in their report.
   You remember Consumer Reports contradictions about the iPhone 4 right? That’s when the iPhone 4 scored highest among all smartphones, but on the same day Consumer Reports said it couldn’t recommend the iPhone.

   What AppleCare Will Tell You About Your Hot iPad
   In response to complaints about the new iPad getting hot, Apple denies it's a problem and says “contact AppleCare.” So we did.

   I subscribe to Consumer Reports but I'm still not that confident in their opinions. I don't personally own the new iPad but one of my co-workers bought one the day they were available and I asked him about overheating. Said he didn't know anything about it and hadn't experienced it with his.
