A conspiracy I think. Apple is in bed with iDevice case companies. The hotter it is, the more apt you are to purchase a medium to block said heat dissipation.

My hovercraft is full of eels....
Would you like to come back to my place: bouncy bouncy!
I will not buy this tobacconists, it is scratched.
On topic: I have noticed some warmness on the back of my iPad 3. I have no experience with the 1/2 to compare. I do know that my iPhone has gotten significantly warmer at times. Usually, but not always, associated with simultaneous use and recharging. With the iPad fully charging overnight, then having more than enough juice to run during an evening's use, this has been a complete non-issue for me. YMMV.
The New iPad -> iPad Winter
The Newer late 2012 iPad -> iPad Summer
Now I know why Apple postponed iPad launch in Brazil...

I use my ipad for hours at a time and do not notice additional heat from it. if anything my previous iPad 2 wifi only model felt hotter than my 16 GB AT&T LTE model.
I have the cellular antenna off most of the time to extend battery life and only turn on when I am away from WiFi and need to use it. Screen is set at 50% brightness because brighter hurts my eyes. My ipad 2 was set at the same screen brightness too.
Used both of them in the same manner and for equal amounts of time.

Anyone experience heat problems can send me their iPads and I will happily replace them with like-for-like iPad 2s.

Sounds the same. Every cellphone always had and has the same antenna problem, even my old LG flip phone. It's called basic electromagnetic physics. Block the signal and you will receive less of it. With electronic circuits, when you use more power, you get more heat. All basic scientific laws and facts.
Hate to admit it, but the 1st thought that came to mind Friday after WOW, look at that display. Was, "here, you hold it. Is that REALLY warm or is it me'?
Not that It was a big issue. For me it was that it was not spread out evenly. That "REALLY warm spot" happened to be right where I held it. I had to move my hand.

It's a feature.
It's a feature, not a flaw.
If you live in a cold climate then having a cozy warm iPad to snuggle up to is almost as good as a dog. Almost.

No by trolling I mean doing exactly what you profess "blind fanboys" do only in reverse. I don't think I've seen any of your comments being positive towards any Apple story. That's certainly your privilege but it sad just the same.
My nipples explode with delight!
Well this thread just took one hell of a nosedive off the deep end.
