Israel has lifted its ban on imports of the iPad. The country had recently banned imports of the iPad citing concerns that the gadget's wireless signals could disrupt other devices. Apple's tablet computer will now be allowed in the country after a ban lead to confiscation of the device at airports.
Israeli officials had then said that the ban is simply a precaution to assure that the iPad doesn't affect wireless devices already in use in the country. Though Israeli standards are similar to those in many European nations, Israel was the only country so far to officially ban imports of the device. The Communications Ministry has said that iPads would be allowed to be imported beginning Sunday, limited to one per person, and that confiscated devices would be returned.
The iPad combines the features of a notebook computer with the touch-pad functions of the iPod. The product went on sale in the US on April 3, 2010. iPad’s international launch has been delayed until May 10, citing strong demand for the device in the US.
