Oh, please.

From your submission history I see that you like Apple... but not seeing that this could be seen as a negative thing is a bit over the top, don't you think?

A iPad which is constantly too hot could be seen as a negative thing. The existence of temperature sensors inside the device and the existence of a warning dialog? Uhm, hardly, I guess?

I have seen this warning once in almost three years of iPhone use, after the phone had been in a hot car. I don't think we can assume that the iPad is faulty simply from the existence of this message.

Agreed, you don't post a screen like this unless you are pretty pissed off that your $500 new toy just stopped working for a while out of the blue. Strange how almost all negative iPad remarks are getting down voted.

Seems you're going strong, though! Hang in there! :)

Yes, I like Apple, but not without valid complaints (I've done posts blasting them for book banning and recently for ignoring book metadata). But I still don't see how this can be interpreted as a complaint.

Look, I really hate to go into some meta-crap here, but really, you are just looking silly now. You yourself even said in this very thread:

I knew that moisture could be a problem. I'd never heard of heat before.

I'm sure you'll now come up with some way of saying that a problem does not constitute a complaint, that moisture is a problem but heat isn't or that it's only a problem on the iPhone, not the iPad ...

I wasn't even saying that it was a problem in the first place, I was jumping at your comment that it could not possibly be seen as a negative thing.

Full disclosure: I have pre-ordered one (Europe).
