Is Israel Saying That European Countries Should Ban iPad Imports Too?

Do you remember the tidbit we had about Israel banning the import of iPads? Reports out there state that a spokesman for the communications ministry in Israel banned the device because the Wi-Fi communication system in it was not compatible to Israel’s own wireless standard, claiming that the Israeli system was running on a European standard. To emphasize, the spokesman apparently said that that other European countries should also take similar measures. Does this mean that folks shouldn’t be buying those iPads that are up for sale in eBay? What do you make of this? Sounds rather weird, to be honest.
