Hi all.
I have recently bought the ipod touch 4G from epicentre singapore. Since this is my 1st ipod touch (upgraded from ipod nano 3G), I've donwloaded tonnes of apps especially games. At 1st, I didn't know how to properly shut down an apps, so I just click the menu button to exit from any apps. The upper back will start to heat up when you play games. So, imagine, when I've played many games without proper shutdown, meaning, there are so many games running in the background, the heat is still not an issue, I mean, the heat is there, but not a big issue at all. The heat is not a big deal at all. I didn't have any uncomfortable moment at all. Also, during this moment, I kept on connecting the ipod touch with the itunes to sync with the new downloaded apps and stuff. But still, it's not even an issue.
One thing I've noticed is that, whenever I'm not playing any games (even though the apps/games/utilities that I run in the beginning still haven't properly shut down), there heat will disappear.
When I found out on how to properly shut down the apps (double click on menu button), I saw like 32 running programs in the background! It's amazing how this ipod touch 4G can withstand that kind of work.
So, the heat is not a problem at all. Really.
Well, not yet, not at the moment. I'm not sure how long does it take for it come to Malaysia. Maybe others may be able to answer that for you.

32 running in background? lol i never have more than 2-3 apps running since i always close any app when i'm done using. Saves batt power too
but must be a pain to manually close apps 1 by 1. I hope they add a tab to close all apps just by tapping once in os4.2
