Do all the new iPads run warm?

[nampramos]

I have mine for 3 days now and it feels very cold for me. I'm not a gamer though...

 

[Hello...]

I meant all iPad 3 run the same temp, warm.

Not true, one 3 I had ran very warm, this one runs as cool as my iPad 2.
There is a difference.

I recently was in the Applestore looking at the new iPad. Most of the iPads ran warm regardless of app. All 4 imtried but one and even though i streamed video from CBS and watched photos in iPhoto it still didn't get warm.
So is it possible to get an iPad that doesn't get warm during regular load, surfing etc only when running heavy apps like games etc?

Anyone got an iPad that didn't get warm?

Keep in mind too that, I assume, that those display units are on all day. They are bound to be pretty warm just based on that.

My DIL had ordered a iP3 and then canceled because she heard they were overheating and there would be a fix from Apple. I can't find anything that would suggest Apple's fixing anything and it seems like the heat issue is sort of linked to screen brightness being greater than 70%? OTH, if it seems uncomfortably warm at 80% shouldn't Apple address that by maybe limiting the brightness? Or is this a no harm no foul issue and nothing will happen if you use it at 100% for extended periods?

I hope to get one myself soon as my son returns my ThinkPad so I can sell it and apply whatever I get towards the new iPad.

There actually is no overheating "issue" with the new iPads, therefore no need for a fix. It does run a few degrees warmer than the previous models, but it still does not heat up to the point where it is uncomfortable to the touch, and actually is in the middle of the pack when compared to other tablet devices. Several Android-based tablets run 5-10 degrees warmer on their surface, and even those aren't running unusually or uncomfortably warm.
