Of course, what they said before is what many people will remember. Not that it matters.

A Closer Look At The iPad 'Heat' Issue

In a recent release, Consumer Reports stated that the new iPad can heat up to as much as 116 degrees Fahrenheit when plugged in and continually running a game. While the consumer publication considered this to be "very warm," they said it wasn't especially uncomfortable if held for brief periods and they didn't consider it to be a safety concern.

To gauge new iPad owner reaction to the heat issue, we presented respondents with a brief summary of the Consumer Reports findings on the new iPad and asked how much of a problem the issue of excessive heat was for them:

In testing, Consumer Reports found the new iPad can heat up to as much as 116 degrees Fahrenheit when plugged in and continually running a game. While they found it very warm, they said it was not especially uncomfortable if held for brief periods and they don't consider it a safety concern.

How much of a problem for you - if any - is the issue of excessive heat coming from your new iPad?

Very Big Problem 0%
Somewhat of a Problem 4%
Not Much of a Problem 7%
Not a Problem/Haven't Experienced Any Problem 89%

Only 4% of new iPad owners found the issue of excessive heat to be Somewhat of a Problem for them, and 0% found it to be a Very Big Problem. Moreover, the vast majority of new owners reported they Haven't Experienced any Problem (89%).

Sorry, but that's all bull****

Apple isn't able to deliver their new iPad. It's the same story as with ASUS and the (in)famous Transformer Prime which is still not available in Germany.

Unfortunately ASUS, Acer and Co aren't able to deliver their premium tablets too. This would be their best chance to blow Apple of the market. Would you wait the new iPad with no delivery date given or buy a good Android tablet right off the shelf ?

If I wanted the high-res screen, I'd wait for the iPad, as it is the only one offering it.
The reality is that there is currently no competition offering this spec of screen.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not able to deliver"; I walked into my local Apple Store last week and came out with a 32GB iPad. No problems there.

Sorry, but i should have been more precise. It's the black/64GB/WiFi only model that's very,very,very hard to get. At least in Germany. I was getting a little bit angry about apple as i was trying to get this model for weeks but it wasn't available and even Apple didn't know when it will be. All other models (16/32 GB) are easier to get.

Sometimes i'm not very patient once a decision has been taken...

Mine arrived on it's debut day.
Excellent device!
Absolutely the best tablet I've owned (I've been using tablets for twenty years).

I highly recommend it far above any competing devices.
