A well designed heat dissipation system, that would emit the heat from a larger area, so it wouldn't feel so hot?

Todays low power CPUs, several times faster than your G4, doesn't even need active cooling. What is your point?
Got a tip for us?

This thing definitely does get hotter.

Just what we all need, more troll feed. "I don't understand why they had to make this new iPad so thick and heavy for this cooling crap!" or... "I can't believe they raised the price of this iPad x$ over the old iPad just for this cooling tech!" Apple can't please everyone, and there's no flippin' point in doing anything about something that's not even a problem in the first place.
Point is that the subsequent products after those were also hotter than the predecessors but nobody was runnin' around playing chicken little about them back then.
Mine is the same temperature my iPad and iPad 2 were unless I crank the brightness to 100%, which I never have the need to do. Keep it around 65% and it will stay cold to the touch.
@ Wheelman. You sure know how to talk a lot of ... But you claimed that the iPad is middle of the pack compared to the competition, thats a blatant lie, it isn't it's the leader of the pack. Middle of the pack anyway it's by no means.

Oh noes!!! The awesomest superlistic awe-inspiring Transformer Prime is leading the temperature pack and scorching pinkies everywheres!!! Whatever will we do?!?
Give me a flippin' break... Lies, damned lies, and crappy stats from tests that you haven't done yourself or have been properly controlled for.

In addition, the oh so objective wire didn't get to test the samsung tab, nor the sony s tablet? Where the hell are these in their "report"? Apparently the ipad 3 had to appear in the middle and they were barred? Can't wired editors afford the sony s or the tab to get them tested too? This stinks like an apple plug to high heavens.
It has to be noted as well that the transformer prime uses a quad core cpu instead of a dual core one. You aren't supposed to know this as apparently you are too into apple to even care to note, but the wire guys should be well aware of it but I don't see them reporting it anywhere? Could it be that apple has a few $$ of their 40 billion per year to spend on getting an article published? Nah... A quad core cpu is far more capable and offers much more of a lifespan for the device and potential for development. I would take a small heat penalty (an alleged one based on wire's stellar testing because the prime is cooler in the pc mag and other tests) if I were running close to twice the computing power.
(In addition you might want to know that the reflectivity of the aluminum back of the ipad creates a favorable bias to temperature measurements what with the amateur equipment used to calculate temperatures (pro ones cost upwards of $5,000) not accounting for it and has an advantage over black surfaces in said bias. )
why do you feel you have to keep lying? You know well enough, or you should, that the ipad is in no way in the mid range of heat dissipation in current tablets.
The reason it's so warm is because apple rushed it to the market and wanted to use a retina screen as a selling point without being able (or rather paying samsung or tmc enough to use a smaller process for the considerably larger cpu+gpu (half of which they'd designed), or use some of samsung's own cpus that had already been on the market 4 months before the ipads release (if samsung would be giving it to them, which I doubt if what with apple's lawyers managing to ban the tab in germany and australia), and instead opted to keep the 45nm process to drive down cost and retain their high margins.
It's not about the battery heating up otherwise the heat would be uniform in the device, but it's not, it's localized. It's about the cpu and the gpu heating up due to intense requirement and the inefficient process (for the demands put on it) they are being manufactured at.
This has all been well documented but you instead choose to mislead buyers here and what is worse attack other posters simply for mentioning their own experience and call them jerks. And you shouldn't be doing that. You are not here to bully others out of their opinions or jump on them when they mention their user experience.
Having said all that to both of you, most of which I am sure has already flown over your head, I have to emphasize that no matter how much you spin it, a user here has offered us their user experience which is what the forums are about. If ipad 3 feels noticeably warmer to them than the ipad 2 they are both allowed to say it before you jump on them, and their subjective experience cannot be refuted.

I am sure apple marketing can plug a few articles in wire, and wire are not well known for their journo ethics. Sure you can pick and choose a couple of tablets than will run warmer than the ipad, especially so if you are particularly careful to test the cooler ipad you can get your hands on and the few models running around the office that happen on an individual basis to be warmer. I can't imagine the ethics of wire of course would allow them to go ok find us a few warm running playbooks and fires around so we can "test them", after all it's not like they made the cardinal sin of handing over their sources and a man is in jail because of it...

Quite ironic that you go after wire's journo ethics, but link back to gizmodo/gawker.....
I am not linking back to gizmodo on purpose, I couldn't find the wire article, or for that matter any reference to wire in the picture the other poster posted, and had to do a bit of researching myself so I quoted from gizmodo making reference to wire, since I couldn't locate the original wire article. Simple as that. The first paragraph in the quote is from the pc mag test, so nothing involving gizmodo there really other the relaying of info.
Having said that journalistic ethics can get a bit more crucial when a human life is at stake, and obtaining an iphone from the lost property of a bar isn't the epitome of journalistic ethic misconduct... just to put things in perspective here.

Agreed. Human life is more important than any gadget.
Curious, what did the source do? Did the source just leak product info or something of the like or did he do something nasty/illegal? There has to be a reason wire gave up the source. Or were they just trying to avoid being sued or blacklisted?
The article I linked to clearly (that's CLEARLY), states that the iPad IS NOT the hottest device of it's kind. And why the hell would you call me a liar? I didn't make that up, and I SHOWED YOU where I got that info from. If you have some proof that they are wrong, let's see it, but don't call me a damn liar!
