Apple: Always good for a headline

iPad might be too hot to handle when hot out

Apple's new iPad has come under increasing scrutiny following reports it runs hot under certain applications.

Consumer Reports today followed up tests it performed a day ago with additional information. Those tests found the new iPad could run hotter than the iPad 2.

"We don't believe the temperatures we recorded in our tests of the new iPad represent a safety concern," CR's Donna Tapellini wrote today.

I haven't kept track of PC's so I don't know how they compare but I don't remember any Apple portable device (laptops up until the introduction of the iPad) that didn't result in somebody complaining it was too hot. They should try to introduce portable devices in, say, early January just to see how many people complain they're not hot enough.
