Israel bans Apple's iPad
Israel's Communications Ministry has issued a blanket ban on the entry of
Apple's new iPad tablet computer into the country.
Several people who tried to enter Israel with iPads in their possession in
recent days had the devices temporarily confiscated by customs officials.
Ministry officials said the iPad has broadcast Wi-Fi power levels that are
not compatible with European standards, which are what Israel uses, and
could therefore disrupt the wireless connections of other Wi-Fi users in a
certain radius.
The ministry is currently working to acquire specifications regarding the
iPad to being the approval process, but until that happens, visitors and
returning Israelis are cautioned not to try to enter Israel with an iPad.
Apple itself has delayed the release of the iPad in Europe, the Middle
East and other international markets due to a failure to meet their broadcast
standards by the original release date.
