NEW YORK (Trefis) -- Concerns about the Apple's (AAPL) iPad heating up to alarming levels seem to have little impact on the tablet's consumer satisfaction ratings, implying that the heating issues are probably a rare occurrence.

A market survey by ChangeWave Research revealed that the new iPad's users seemed more satisfied with the tablet than those using its predecessors. About 82% of the new iPad users said they were "very satisfied" with the new tablet as opposed to about 74% that had said so about the earlier iPads. Moreover, only 6% of the respondents cited the heating issues to be one of the things they disliked about the iPad.
