Well this doesn’t bode well for using the new iPad during construction inspections (which frequently involve exposure to direct sunlight)…
Did you spend a few hours in line this weekend waiting to buy Apple’s much-heralded new tech toy, the iPad? Then you might be disappointed to learn that the $500 gadget can shut down in direct sunlight. According to some furious tech bloggers, exposure to the sun’s rays can prompt a black screen and the ominous error message, “iPad needs to cool down before you can use it.” With reports estimating as many as 700,000 iPads sold, could this glitch become a big P.R. problem?
