Mine never gets that hot, but some graphically-intensive games make it run warmer than normal. Does this occur with every app, or only certain ones?

My iPad 3 gets so hot I can't hold it. Does anyone know why?
If your iPad is getting too hot to hold during normal operation, something is likely wrong, such as a short in the battery or the wiring. You should have it checked out at the nearest Apple Store to find out exactly what's wrong.

The iPad 3 has been clocked at 47 degrees Celsius, usually during graphics intensive games. If it is getting hot during minimal use, it could be a battery or dock connector issue. Are there any other symptoms? Check the dock connector for any debris that may be causing a short circuit.
