They seem to run cooler every revision. I tried the Rev A in the Apple Store and after just ten minutes playng with iTunes and exploring Jaguar the machine was scalding hot (I didn't buy it).
I did buy the Rev B 12" last year, and it did get rather warm, but nowhere near as bad as the Rev A models. I bought the Rev D two-weeks-ago, and despite a 50% faster processor, it runs at about the same temperature as the Rev B, or maybe a little cooler (on account of the processor not being pushed as hard?). They have definitely improved the product during the production run, but more than the added features, the Rev B model had a totally new system board design that addressed the majority of the heat issues.
