I have also been pleasantly surprised by how well the speech recognition in Dictation works. I have a speech defect and have never been able to get Dragon Dictate to work well for me. But for some reason, even though I understand DD is the platform for the dictation, the dictation works at least 95% of the time for me (as well I understand as SIRI works for those with it and without speech problems).
I'm wondering if the Dictation feature is trainable?

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 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.
