iPad Name Already in Use

One thing that Apple appears to have lost sight of in all the thrills of announcing their new tablet computer is that Widgetaria, presumably an Apple business partner, already promotes software called iPad. I wonder if they care?

Seems they notices as that page no longer exists ;-)

This is a common thing for apple to do. In order to keep the name of the new product 'X' secret, they will not register the 'X' domain, or deal with other 'X' name conflicts until after the launch. They are usually very good about being in contact with those whom do own anything conflicting, with some very nice 'shrink wrap' NDA's which can be quite rude....
