The contest-related stuff is a big reason, I suspect - I'm in a contest now with a team of people, where the team with the most "likes" clicked through them on to a company website is given an Ipad each (8 members). Believe me, we're doing a good job advertising the company for them :)

Interestingly, for all these competitions, the iPad seems the undisputed motivator these days!

Maybe because it's something a lot of people do want, but can't justify getting for themselves (I already have a laptop, I don't really need an Ipad).

Or maybe just 'cause it's the shiniest new toy around :)

An apartment complex near me is having an iPad giveaway, replacing their Wii giveaway.
