Mine never heated up at all. Some heat won't hurt it if it's slighty warm if it's very hot so it burns you I would stop using it contact Kodak see what they can do for you.

I have without thinking about it and haven't noticed any damage. I would suggest that a hot pad is used to protect it.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure. Not long. I have never really paid attention but I guess it heats up fast enough otherwise I would have noticed it.

No. I have had this unit for almost two years. It has performed as expected and I have not noticed any excessive heat.

Not HOT, maybe a little warm when it's been plugged in for a while. Sometimes the heat from your computer can transfer over or if it's working too hard it can generate heat. If it's getting really hot then I would see about getting a replacement.

to be honest i have used this on laptops not tablets, but i don't see why not, guess you'll just have to be more careful of the near by components as this get's real hot fast.

I did not have any heat problems. My problem was that the unit had to be on before connecting to the dock which created a power surge when connecting which in turn created other problems that called for repair.

I notice that my machine gets a bit hot but has never shut down as a result. I have not had it on for more than a minute - usually much less.

Mine has never has done that. I noticed it gets very hot in use. I would call the manufacturer or check on their support page.

This should be fine. I leave mine on for eight hours at a time with no overheating problems.

Just saw this, and I think you already got your answer. I agree with the first response--Yes, nice & hot if the unit is left on. Enjoy.

Yes, but it overheats and I have to power down btween uses. I found that other people have had this problem.

Right now I think thats not a bad idea. When i use it before I go to bed( since it goes off so fast I just listen to like 5-7 songs so I dont need to charge it all the time) the player gets hot quickly. And that surprised me. But thank you for helping me out Rob. I really appreciate it. Its not fair that you get to enjoy your Christmas gift while I'm dissapointed with mine. lol. But thank you for answering. :)

Kind of... it gets really hot while playing, but the solution to this is an boost of the device function by some kind of integrated software which speeds the fan up. Now I'm not sure about its impact in energy consumption, but I have to say it works pretty well.

I agree. They should recall. It is a great device for the minute it works but overheating is a major issue. Don't waste your time buying. ;(

No, my unit works without any heat problem. I recommend this product very well.

I treated some electronics with it and they were fine, but I didn't treat a computer. I'm not sure if that would be okay or not. Loading it is very quick and easy, you just want to make sure there is space around stuff so that the heat gets to everything. It takes about 6 or 7 hours, about 5 or 6 to get up to temperature and then another hour that everything should stay at that temperature. Hope this helps.
