It's not the CPU that is creating the majority of the heat. It's the radios. WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular radios all use a lot of power and create a lot of heat. That's just the way it works.

I bet most people didn't use WIFI during a phone call though. I don't know many people who use WIFI at all, really. If you have a data plan, that is (which is most of us.)
I was just referring to the "the device is more powerful--so that's why it gets hotter" argument. I won't disagree that the Mogul CONSUMED more power, but it actually had lower performance due to the RAM, which was is a big deal.
Does anyone know if the diamond suffers from this same problem?
