Well, in light of all of the happy-go-lucky Apple hardware news, something was bound to go wrong somewhere. Bloomberg is reporting that apple is facing a brand new lawsuit over complaints that the iPad heats too quickly in direct sunlight. The complaint was filed on Friday of last week in Oakland, California and claims that the Apple tablet device "does not live up to the reasonable consumer's expectations created by Apple" because it "overheats so quickly under common weather conditions."
The re[prt added that in direct sunlight, the tablet turns off after a few minutes of use because it overheats.
Apple has a support document all about overheating of their iDevices on their site, and it has been updated to include the latest iPhone 4 and iPad mobile devices.

* Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
* Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
* Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
* Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)So, if it's 34 degrees C outside, and the sun is hitting it.........Of course it's gonna get warmer than it's specs!
BTW same temp range as a new MB Pro 17"......Is he gonna sue Apple for that also? Shees.

It's my only real complaint with the iPad. So just curious, Flo... how does Apple figure that posting a "support document" to their site solves the problem?
