The iPhone pumps out a lot of heat. I notice this first when watching movies and TV shows on my first gen iPhone. The phone would act strange, after a prolong period of use. I decided heat was a real issue. I quickly dumped the 3rd party protective cover for my iPhone and let the phone breath. The back gets warm, but never as hot as it once did. I've decided that the metal back-plate on my 1st gen phone is as much a style choice as a heat sink. Covering the iPhone was just locking in the heat (and asking for trouble). The iPhone is built well enough to survive without a case or cover.
How many of the overheating issues can be traced back to covered iPhones and 3rd party protective devices?
The Cat is cute, but iCal 3 is really broken, the new iCal 3 interface makes entering information more difficult, with more than twice as many clicks as iCal 2. While iCal interacts better with MS Outlook it is far more difficult to use than product from the beast.
