Israel Ban on Apple iPad Imports Finally Lifted

Israel has finally lifted the ban on Apple iPad imports to the country. Up til now, not only were bulk imports not allowed but travelers carrying iPads were having the device confiscated at their own expense (just a daily storage fee). Authorities had claimed the devices violated local wireless communications laws, but all evidence suggests the contrary. They’ve since consulted with Apple and several labs and found the device does in fact operate within local wireless standards. Up to 20 devices that had been confiscated will be released, by I guess unless they seek out the owners (travelers), the latter will continue to pay the storage fee. Read CNN Money to get some more insight as to what might actually have been going on.
