Let it sit for an hour to cool off. Touch the outside of the cooler, like you do the outside of the iPad. Does it freeze your hand to the case of the cooler because it's -109.3�F or -78.5�C inside the cooler? No. It doesn't feel cold at all! You see, there's iPad's problem. It's case is NOT a good thermal conductor, either. It gets lots hotter INSIDE the iPad than you're feeling outside, especially during heavy usage like playing video or heavy gaming with lots of CPU usage. There's no cooling system, like the hot air blowing out of a proper laptop cooling system. Only the heat that leaks out through the plastic case and glass, a great insulator glass, screen cool the guts of it. When the temperature outside RISES, the temperature differential inside to outside becomes more pronounced because the heat now has no place to go. All they had to do is connect the powerful ICs producing heat to the back panel of the iPad that SHOULD have been a heat sink, like this: http://www.hammondmfg.com/jpeg/431610E_B.jpg Ribbed just a little like the top of this enclosure, with the hot ICs heating it pushed up against the aluminum on the inside, All this nonsense would be unnecessary. The ribs would even make it so the damned thing wouldn't try to slip out of your hands!..... -- iPhone 4 is to cellular technology what the Titanic is to cruise ships. Larry

You are taking a position. You're taking the position that products other than the iPad with the same operational temperature limits are actually better than the iPd. > iFans tend to see anything other than praise as an attack. > You need to broaden your horizons, and not be so defensive.
