iPad Problems: Overheating leads to lawsuit
Apple had hoped that their troubles were behind them when offering free cases and bumpers to iPhone 4 customers, but now they might have another issue on their hands. We have been getting reports that at least three iPad owners have claimed that their devices had shut off due to being in the sun too long.
They claim that Apple has gone back on its words, when they made claims that the iPad could be used as an e-book reader like the Amazon Kindle. The three iPad owners have now took it upon themselves to launch a lawsuit in California.
This is not the first time this month that Apple has seen a lawsuit launched against them. The most recent was when a bunch of iPhone owners got together and did the same thing, that time complaining about the antenna issue.
According to an article on CNN, By Chris Foresman from ArsTechnica, once the Apple tablet reaches a critical operating temperature, the device will then shut down as a safety precaution. The iPad issues a warning message as it is shutting down – just as their other portable products do.
The lawsuit filed alleges that Apple and its iPad do not meet expectations of operating temperatures. They understand that the device can overheat when out in direct sunlight, but they allege that Apple contradicts themselves when they say that the iPad is just like a book.

Not sure but I think this is getting out of hand. Apple is just being bombarded with all of this non-sense.
