Apple iPad investigated after reports of excessive heat

SAN FRANCISCO — An influential U.S. consumer watchdog is investigating online reports that Apple Inc.'s new iPad throws off an unusually large amount of heat and will publish its findings later on Tuesday.

Consumer Reports, which reviews everything from electronics to cars, noticed comments on online forums and on Apple's website about excessive heat from the new device, which went on sale Friday, and decided to look into the issue, a spokesman said.

The group will publish its findings on Tuesday after finishing a battery of tests, the spokesman added.

Well, it is a pretty hot item in the stores right now..... #:-s ;)

I've read reports that the "heat" reports may be from the new Retina Display. It puts off energy (heat) much like the large LCD TV's do. Not a great deal but (apparently) noticeable.
