Yeah, well, the fact that people call tissues "Kleenex" doesn't mean the trademark is generic. Or maybe the fact that people use "windows" to describe viewports in an application means that "Windows" is generic, eh?

While I *sorta* feel sorry for people who ordered an iPad2 and have to wait while some people can just walk into a Radio Shack and pick one up, I suspect that Apple has learned a big lesson with the AT&T exclusive contract for the iPhone; they g…

If they've distributed code, does not the GPL disallow this?
