CPUs generate heat, all of our laptops have fans that help dissipate that heat, yet no one seems to complain when the laptop gets warm. with the new cpu in ipad, convective cooling, and no ventilation I am not surprised it gets warm. What I am curious about is ... heat is one of Li-ion technologies biggest enemies, how will the added heat affect the battery over the long term.
Heat is not a friend of most electronics. Worse yet it stays inside the case because there are no real vents. On top of that you have an aluminum case that will hold more heat then plastic from a laptop.
The battery in the iOS devices has always bothered me. No way to change it and it won't last forever. I wish we could change them. My iPad2 loses power faster now then it did when knew.
