Before you all start surfing for the iPad take a quick look at this BBC article:

BBC News - Scammers exploit Apple iPad fever

Cyber conmen are cashing in on hype surrounding Apple's iPad. Security firms have come across attempts to subvert search engines to catch out those seeking more information about the tablet.

Those who follow rogue links are re-directed to pages that scan their computer looking for loopholes and vulnerabilities.

Some scammers are using these to peddle security software and others are trying to steal valuable data.

Don't say you haven't been warned.

Thanks for the warning!
I consider Camino to be a quite safe browser, so does not fear much. But nice to know and be a little alert.
