That black band is the LTE or cell antenna.

At least I've convinced myself I do for all that money. ;0) No, seriously, that was the convincing part for getting it for my vision so I'm glad that works. Next (after charging) is to see if the dictation recognizes my speech.

Clearly, there's a lot more power consumed by the new display, the quad-core GPU and the LTE chip (if applicable). Even if the new chips are more efficient than the previous generation, there's going to be a greater degree of loss in the form of heat.
>> I've not paid too much attention to some of the articles, but one was using Infinity Blade II to measure the difference in heat generated between the iPad2 and new iPad. I don't know if anyone else has ever played I.B. II, but it's got to be one of the most graphics-intensive apps available. Consider it a worst-case scenario.

The aluminum back shell is being used as the heat sink for the A5X (not to mention any other heat-generating chips), so it's natural for it to feel warmer on average than the previous 'Pads.
