Cleaning cloth included?

I heard somewhere that every new iPad comes with a cleaning cloth. Is this true? Mind did not.

iMac 20", 2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.6.4), FCE version 4.0.1

Apparently nobody at Apple is aware that the new Apple cases have a black cleaning cloth included. The sales people at the Apple store seemed somewhat aware of this and suggested that I check the online store. Nothing there. I called Apple support and went through all the supervisors, and they were clueless. I have noticed several people who recently purchased an Apple iPad case, and it came with a black micro-fiber cloth that perfectly fits the screen. I bought my Apple iPad case a couple of months ago and it didn't come with the cloth. I am trying to get one without paying $39 for a new case, but all I get when I ask about this is blank stares in person, or total befuddlement with the support people on the phone.

Am I just imagining this? Or is there really a black micro-fiber cloth for cleaning the iPad screen, and if so, why is this such a mystery to the Apple people?

I bought an iPad a couple of weeks ago at Target when they first started carrying them. I picked up the Apple black case as well, and it came with the mysterious black cloth. It wasn't listed on the packaging; the box just says enclosed: case. I had no idea what it for for; since it fits the screen perfectly I thought maybe it was just a protective cover to place over the screen when transporting the iPad via the case. That's pretty much all I've been doing with it as I wasn't sure it was safe to use as a cleaning cloth. It has a black Apple logo on it. It feels a little thicker and stiffer compared to other microfiber cloths I've used.

Having the same issue!

Got iPad and case from NY but a friend at uni bought his case here in the UK, his came with the apple cloth. Been back to the store and they said they were aware but couldn't help, called the online store and AppleCare and they said there was nothing they could do either. The representatives on the phone weren't even aware of the issue!!
I know I can buy them in packs elsewhere, but I don't see why I should have to when I paid for the same product as somebody else, and got less for my money!
