Consumer watchdog warns iPads hot to handle

A vaunted consumer watchdog organisation on Tuesday warned that Apple’s new iPad is a bit hot to handle. US non-profit product testing group Consumer Reports reported that the new-generation iPad with its more powerful processor hit temperatures as high as 116°F (47°C), particularly when running videogames.

“It does run warmer than its predecessor,” Consumer Reports spokesman James McQueen said of the third-generation iPad.
