Ok, so when did Apple buy ARM? I know they made their own custom chip for the iPad (great move on their part), but its all ARM based.

Apple didn't buy ARM, although rumors have been milling about in the UK that it might.

Apple DID buy PA Semiconductor two years ago... which licenses ARM architecture and DID design the A4 chip which is in the iPad. . . and bears Apple's name and logo.
