Uh-oh: iPad Overheating Issues When Used Outside?

Hey, there'll always be a few bumps in the road when a new tech product is introduced, right? Well, you might not expect the inability to use a portable device outside to be one of those concerns, but that seems to be the case for at least one user.
From cnet:
PC Magazine editor Zach Honig posted on Twitter that he took his brand new iPad out in the sun in New York City (it's been over 70 in New York the last few days) and ten minutes later it shut down with the message, "iPad needs to cool down before you can use it." Honig stuck his iPad in the fridge and it was fine a few minutes later.
While reviews indicate the iPad is surprisingly cool, especially compared to MacBook Pros, this issue could be a thorn in Apple's side, or a one-off fluke. Time will tell. Let us know if you're having any iPad quirks.
