...seemed like some people were getting into worse situations than others, temperature-wise. In other words, not all units may be overheating in the same way, though there seem to be some common denominators like screen brightness and being plugged in.
Anyway, on the subject of a recall, someone on the forums stated that Apple was likely to pull the same shenanigans they did with the IPod Nano- recall the thing years after the fact.
From what I've read, Apple is currently sticking to its guns about there being no problems and the product fitting within Apple's "thermal specifications". The interesting part is, if the iPad is uncomfortable to hold it doesn't matter what Apple's thermal specifications are, people are going to return it.
If this is as serious a problem as it seems, I sense a "You're holding it wrong" solution from Apple, which Microsoft famously tried (and failed) with their XBox. At some point, XBoxes were having problems and the problem turned out to be that the XBoxes were malfunctioning or having some other problems (I can't recall, it was a while ago) because people were playing them so much. The remedy? Microsoft announced that XBoxes were not intended to be played for more than x minutes or hours at a time!
I can't remember how long a period it was but for most hardcore gamers the length of time was a joke.
If they try that sort of tactic, I doubt it's going to work out very well for them. We'll see.
