Overheating?

Has anyone else noticed their Vox getting really hot at times? I noticed this a couple of times, but I didn't make a mental note of what I was doing and what could have triggered the heat. My best guess is that my Vox was sleeping during those times - but it could have been charging too. Anyone else get some serious heat coming from theirs?

I had the Vox laying on my bed while I was using it to surf the internet. I did notice the black plastic on the back felt really hot. It doesn't seem to get hot when I hold it up instead of laying it flat on something.

As long as you don't burn yourself or smell burnt plastic it's alright :-) (Although my device usually got warm before the battery was properly calibrated) They're built to be warm.
