No...none! Is it normal for an ipad3 to get hot? Not noticeably too much but I worry for the silliest of reasons....just...is it harming it? Couldn't be without it but what do I do?

There have been quite a number of posts about the heat generated by the iPad 3. The power required to drive the screen is apparently the culprit.


So long as its not excessive you should be OK, although I have no idea just what "excessive" might be. Noticeable heat is certainly normal. Uncomfortable to hold is not.
