I have a friend who recently tried to purchase an iPad for a contest her work was going to put on during an event this summer. Apparently the Apple store rep had to deny the sale, giving pretty much the same reasons in this article. She pushed back a bit and pretty much found out that if they really wanted to get an iPad, it would still be possible; it basically ended up being a "just don't mention what you're using it for" and they couldn't really block the purchase.
