It can handle the flak from the international community, condemnation from powerful states and the scrutiny of the world's press, but when Israel's technorati decided to go to war with the state over its ban of Apple's iPad, something had to be done.
And it was.
Two weeks after imposing a ban on bringing iPad's into the country, the communication ministry on Sunday decided to lift the restriction.
They provided as little information as to why they lifted the ban as they did about why they imposed it in the first place. The bottom line - iPads are now kosher.
Authorities say they have carried out "intensive technical scrutiny" on the little shiny tablet which appears to no longer be the security threat it was yesterday.
Confiscations
