Israel bands apple ipad


Israel has banned all the imports of Apple's hottest new product, the Apple Ipad, because the country believes that its wireless frequencies are incompatible with national standards. The countries Communication Ministry announced that the product does not work with the European WiFi standard, which is what they use in Israel. But Israel say that it might be a temporary ban. Customs official have said that they have already confiscated around 10 Ipads since the ban was announced this week. This ban prevents anyone even tourists from bringing Apple Ipads into the country. The iPad is a tablet combining the features of a notebook computer with the functions of the apple Iphone. It went on sale in the U.S. last week and can currently only be purchased there.

To me this ban makes really no sense. If everywhere else in Europe is aloud to have one and since they all run on the same WiFi standards, why should it be that Israel cant have it. Hopefully this ban is going to be a temporary one and that people in Israel can soon enjoy the hottest new gadget to hit the market since Apple introduced its Iphone around 2 years ago. The Apple Ipad is an amazing invention and should be enjoyed by everyone.
