The nation of Israel has ended its ban on the Apple iPad, with the Israel Communications Ministry saying that after a second technical review, the device will be re-allowed into the country.
The device was banned right after launch earlier this month with the CM saying that the device's wireless strengths violated Israeli law and would overpower other wireless devices in the country.
10 of the devices were seized from citizens and tourists, with tourists only getting their devices back when they left the country.
Starting today, they are once again allowed in the country.
Apple, at the time of the ban, had said: "The iPad complies with international industry standards for Wi-Fi specifications."
