I have never owned any Apple products but today I won a free iPad (16GB WiFi). When I turn on the device, it does nothing other than display an "iTunes" icon on the screen. I don't actually have iTunes and won't install it on my computer. Someone said it has to be "activated" but I don't even know what that means. The device won't be used on the Internet and won't connect to any computer, it will just be stand alone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Update: never mind, the Apple store said they can activate it with no personal info of any kind, and no iTunes required.
