4 out of 5 great lakes prefer Michigan.
Never really had a problem in flight, if it's hot point a vent at it. Hot days on the ground keep it in the shade.
When it has overheated it takes very little to cool it off.
I don't find a need to put my iPad in a mount, my lap works just fine.
I've been using the iPad (2nd generation, Cell version no data plan, 64 GB) with mostly Foreflight. Then rent and what not coupled with the fact I wasn't flying anymore after getting my CMEL / CSEL I let Foreflight lapse. I've used Garmin Pilot and the fltpln GO apps as well. fltpln GO is great if you want JUST a moving map and charts...plus free. Foreflight is hands down the most powerful out there. I flew with a stratus receiver for the first time with @jskibo and the traffic / weather info was great.
I've always kept my iPad in my lap, but after flying with it on a mount, it is pretty nice...I think I will look into getting a RAM mount and put it up that way.
