<!– If true, these overheating issues may even end up in an exploding battery scandal. To add to the confusion, I have noticed my 2G iPod Touch getting a lot hotter than usual since updating to the v3.0 software. This happens while web browsing, and the battery is draining fast, too.

Wired also includes links to other Web sites reporting on this issue: Overheating problems with the iPhone 3GS at Nowhere Else and Worries of overheating for iPhone 3G S? at Le Journal du Geek. Reports are also surfacing on iLounge.com and on Engaget.

Wired appears to believe that this might be a software related issue, and we hope so as well, but our sources that tested the betas of iPhone OS 3.0 did not report any heat-related issues on either iPods or iPhones as they suggested. Let’s hope that Apple finds a solution for this problem in the next firmware update.
