Missing Genius icon in the App Store

I don't have a Genius icon in the iPad's App Store. I have a Genius section on my iPhone's App Store. How do I get the Genius section in my iPad's App Store?

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

It does not appear that the iPad's App Store app has the Genius function at this time. At least, I can't find it either.

Ahhhh......... Finally, I found I'm not the only one with this issue. It took me an hour of goggling till, I found a link to anything addressing this problem that I thought only I had.
Maybe that's because Apple's Appstore support documentation explains that clicking the 'turn genius on' button is all that is required to activate the Genius feature, and can be done using iTunes on a computer or directly from the iPad. And to further my confusion, a screenshot clearly displaying a Genius button on the bottom selections bar alongside "featured" "top charts" "categories" & "updates".
C'mon apple.

Ditto to mr hunt. I found the genius page fab! But cannot now reactivate it. I too saw the nice screenshot of an iPad with genius at bottom of app store! Looking forward to using it regularly. Apple engineers with it enabled possibly don't know that most users can't access it!

This iPad is fantastic stuff though! Looking forward to using genius for apps regularly!
