There has been several reports about the 3rd generation iPad getting warm or even hot. Mostly while doing processor intensive tasks such as gaming. In my opinion I believe this is to be expected since more intensive use of the graphics and cpu units create more heat on just about any device. Even my iPod Touch (3rd generation) get warm (not hot) while playing games such as Battlefield Bad Company 2 (great game by the way) or watching long movies. So people shouldn't "freak-out" over the new iPad getting warm. Just don't go out in the summer time outside in 100 degree heat in direct sun trying to play on your iPad. Common sense people. Check out these articles below.
