Apple does tablets (and a different Apple sells Beatles records - but 
only one of them is The Real Apple).

Orange used to run a mobile phone network, before they got taken over by 
Orange.

While we're on the subject: Apricot used to make PCs in the UK, and 
Blackberry makes mobile phones. Cherry? Keyboards. Raspberries are 
little Linux boxes which, for some reason, are /not/ in the shape of a pie.

Finally, it has been observed that a number of technology companies 
produce lemons on a regular basis.
