There's also "comp.mac.ipad", but it isn't really "active".

Plus a few regionalised ones for non-English users:
    de.alt.comm.iphone+ipad+co
    de.alt.fan.ipod
    free.it.musica.ipod
    it-alt.comp.sys.ipod
    fr.comp.sys.iphone
    hr.alt.cellular.gsm.iphone
    it-alt.tlc.cellulari.iphone
    it.tlc.cellulari.iphone

There may be more on other newsservers.
