I have never seen an Apple ad on TV, yet I have seen numerous news clips on commerical TV spreading the word of new Apple devices (even on the local news, we got a longer story about the upcoming iPad release than we did over a fatal house fire in the state). Yet by the same token I have seen Microsoft ads on TV. So one company needs to pay for advertising, the other gets it for free.
To the OP, next time someone says "is that an iPad?" say "Yes, you can buy them from Amazon.com, they call them there a Kindle" :P
