So I own a business that will soon start developing mobile apps for platforms such as the iPad. I am wondering if I can legally make a vector graphic of other companies products such as the iPad to put a photo of my application on. I will acquire an Apple Developer account and get the app(s) approved before I publish the graphics. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

Apple provide images of their devices that can be used for marketing purposes.
They can all be found here (requires developer log in to see): developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/marketing/index.html
So in your specific case, it doesn't matter... you can create an image of your app running on an iPhone or iPad, and Apple are OK with that.
In general, no it is not okay.
There have been several topics here covering this:
What is the copyright of fanart?
Who is the rightful copyright holder of images to Windows components?
Is vectorizing an image copyright theft if the image is not CC/Public domain?
Is it OK to include a stylized reproduction of a copyrighted painting in a design?
