iPad heating

I venture in here having read only the first and last pages of the thread. Will read those in between over the next few days but, if any alert Ppruner gives me a heads-up, I'd be appreciative.

The battery life of my iPad 3 (the one without a number) seems very low compared to the first version. Within 20 minutes from 100% it's down to registering low 80s battery left.

And, when charging up from that 80% level the heat emanating from it is enough to fry eggs. Back at 100% charged, it's cool all over.

Ambient temperature when at the low 80s point and plugged in to recharge was 33C. I was sweating but half expected the iPad to explode.

As said above, I'll trawl the thread for answers but if any kind soul can point me to the answer (i.e. why the hell does it heat up so much), much appreciated.
