Apple announced the iPhone 4! (Apple) it looks good, and I cant wait to get my hands on one. It is the most exciting gadget to hit the market since, well, the iPhone. Despite it being revolutionary there is a major problem I can easily forsee:

Over Heating
The iP 4 has the same processor as the iPad, which has already been documented (CNET) this summer as having some serious overheating problems. Take that processor and put it in a smaller casing, and add the insulating properties of the glass. My iP 3GS gets noticeably hot, but am one of those `Super Users’ that killed the unlimited data plan (NYTimes) So it can easily be inferred that the new iP 4, with a bigger battery, will get pretty hot around that shiny stainless steel band.

It could become a much bigger problem than that, I have routinely had problems with my iPhone, and when they refuse to work reality hits: This isn’t just a music/video/game/camera/voicerecorder/notepad/mobile internet device, its my phone! Its the only phone I have. It has to work, ALWAYS! Those iPads are overheating to the point they cannot be used! I would be very disappointed to be disrupted from a (video) phone conversation because your phone is about to emulate Chernobyl! (W)
