Do you have a 2 or a 3? This article says the new iPad is about 10% hotter than the 2...

I ended up going with the 3. I figured I'll forget about the extra $100 after a couple weeks.
This guy agrees. Need to wade through the first 1:30 or so (kinda funny):

I just can't justify the price on any of these. Maybe I'll wait a year until Apple comes out with another iPad and get an older model. For some reason I think that every version of the iPad is only a baby step for the increase in price. People get way to enticed by always having the "best" or "newest" and Apple thrives on it; even if that means all they do is upgrade the resolution of the screen and add a couple bells and whistles.
And some of us can justify the price. You can probably get a Xoom or playbook cheap. Of course, they suck, but the price would be right for you.
What's up Richy Rich? I never stated that I couldn't afford it, just said that I couldn't justify having one. I will stick to a fully functional laptop for $500 because I don't need to act, respond and look like an apple owning ****.
I have both. I used the 3 for Twitter and scores on games this weekend. Had it on my lap or on the couch a lot and it never got hot. The thing is like all battery and screen so I'd believe 10% hotter.
The dictation feature kind of creeps me out. The info gets sent to Apple, and it stays on their servers.
New iPad feature 'Dictation' sends/stores private data to Apple servers | ZDNet
It's interesting how everyone wants everything on the web to be free, but they freak out about privacy. The ads on this site (or any site) are capable of gathering better info about you than the stuff most people would dictate on an iPad.
That's why I said "the stuff most people would dictate on an iPad". I'd be way more concerned about all the info people freely give out to Facebook than anything. For most people Google, Microsoft, or Yahoo already have all of their emails. Who cares if Apple has a few of them dictated.
I have an iPad 2, I would bump up to a new one if I had the need, I just thought it bore pointing out. You don't have to agree! IMO, I don't know why they didn't just fully integrate Siri.
I've never quite understood the privacy thing either. Where I don't like people storing all my information on their server for some hacker to get at eventually, it is a trade off for instant information. Being online is kind of like being in public, it really isn't private. I've always just assumed everything I punch in on the web is stored somewhere, we have archives here as well, don't we?
Yeah it's good to know where your data is. Most people don't. Siri is in the cloud also.
Exactly. Just assume everything you do on the web could be made public. With hacking you might as well add computer and phone. Even if you ran your own email server at home the email goes over the web in plaintext and the recipient is probably on a Google, Microsoft, or Yahoo server so they get to see the email anyway. Corporations and Universities are moving to the cloud also.
