Users are reporting that the iPad easily overheats after 10 minutes in the sun: http://img686.yfrog.com/i/xjg.jpg/

--- Quote from: golem.de (translated) ---Apple has specified the iPad for runtime temps of 0-35 degrees centigrade - below and above this is outside Apple's warranty. Ideally it should be used at 22 degrees (room temp). According to Apple's support website, the same is the case for iPods and iPhones. The iPhone 3G also switches off when overheated.
The fact that we're already hearing of overheating issues in early spring, leads us to assume that the heatproblems of the cpu and casing are more severe than would be expected. Apple recommends keeping the iPad away from warm sunlight and not to use it in a heated up car, specifically because the batteries could take permanent damage.

Another loller, they should've released their iMelt in Autumn, that way it could've sold well for two whole seasons before customers realized how it's possible for Apple to make it so thin ;D :D

Well, it wasn't marketed as an on-the-go device anyway.

Will it blend? That is the question ;D

It was aggressively marketed as an ebook reader, a product class which includes use in direct sunlight as one of its most important features.
