O Israel, o you Jews of Israel, please do not ban me. Please accept me into your market, I will not hurt your wireless communications. My creator, Steve Jobs, would like it if you accept me and let your Jews buy iPads like me.

You were saying ...

Ummmm..., I think Israel has more concerns and worries -- over Iran, terrorists and Obama -- than it does over iPad and Steve Jobs ... LOL ...

In the meantime, confiscated iPads will be held by customs - for a daily storage fee

Did we just see one of the very liberal reasons in that sentence??? What do you know - a revenue-generating ban. Nice... Sounds almost like they are trying to impress Obama...

Seriously - is the iPad's "signal" really that much of an issue?

Further - did anyone make any sense out of that statement early in the article:

"If you operate equipment in a frequency band which is different from the others that operate on that frequency band, then there will be interference," said Nati Schubert, a senior deputy director for the Communications Ministry.

Ummm.... sounds contradictory to me. Operating in a frequency band which is different....?

According to a press release from Israel Ministry Of Communication dated April 24, 2010, the Communication Minister ordered to allow the import of one iPad per person. One iPad per person will be allowed into the Country.

The issue was that “as Israel regulations in the area of WiFi are similar to European standards, which are different from American standards”.

Following tests with Apple, other European Government agencies and a well known international lab, the Communication Minister issued an order allowing, at this time, the import into Israel of one iPad per person.
