Israel Bans the iPad over Wireless Woes

"Concerns over the strength of the iPad's wireless transmitters and receivers has Israel confiscating iPads, and barring their import into the country.
Apparently not everyone loves the iPad. The AP is reporting that Israel has told Apple that its tablet computer is not welcome.
Israel is claiming that the strength of the iPad’s wireless receivers and transmitters are incompatible with Israeli national standards, and might disrupt other devices. So far 10 iPads have been confiscated, and Israeli officials plan on confiscating any further iPads attempting to make their way into the country. The iPads will be held at customs (for a fee) in storage until the owner leaves or ships the tablet elsewhere."
