Survey: Folks Rate New iPad As Best Ever; Hot On Retina Display, Pretty Cool On Heat-Gate

Another consumer milestone of sorts for Apple, and one more sign of how competitors are going to have to raise the bar yet again: the new iPad is proving to be highest-rated yet of the three versions of the iPad tablet released so far by the company, according to the latest report from ChangeWave Research. In a survey from the last week of March, more than four out of every five owners -- 82 percent, to be exact -- said they were "very satisfied" with the new device, with 16 percent saying they are "somewhat satisfied." And while the high-resolution Retina display has proven to be the biggest hit with new owners, one of the more high profile drawbacks, claims that the device was getting too hot during prolonged use -- turned out to be not such a hot issue after all. The caveat in this research is that it only covers 200 people. 200! That's nothing, and only a small portion of the 25,000 that ChangeWave says it has access to for surveys. On the more constructive side, this is one more indicator of how this newest tablet from Apple will progress in sales in the months ahead.
