A friend of mine with an iPad 1 just responded that he also had that problem with kids buying stuff, that's why I asked.

I have no idea since my 4 year old kid did that (and she doesn't just randomly click on stuff, she can adjust brightness, start games, switch between them). It keeps popping up annoying adds and there is no wonder that they get clicked.

And it is indeed still unexpected that you can buy something by just clicking, without entering password. That's why amazon explicitly asks you to enable their patented "1-click" thing.
