Israel has dropped the ban against the iPad. Israel has lifted a ban forbidding tourists and citizens from bringing Apple Inc.’s iPad into the country, the Communications Ministry said in an e-mailed statement.Heh.
The ministry earlier this month requested that Israeli customs confiscate iPads brought in to the country at Ben-Gurion Airport, saying the product’s Wi-Fi transmitter did not confirm to local standards.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

Wanna have fun? Try mailing to Israel a $40 blue tooth earphone, declared to or detected by customs. Watch the bureaucratic fireworks begin! There is an office of the Communications Ministry in Tel Aviv that is kept employed by incidents like this.
It was silly and nonsensical. I like the i-Pad but since it can't currently display Flash content on the web, that will have to wait.
Heh
