This week, Israel has been obstructing voyagers from carrying Apple Inc.'s new iPad into the nation saying that the gadget's wireless technology intimidates to create intervention with other products. The move has confused people both in Israel and Silicon Valley.

The Ministry of Communications said that the prohibition was introduced earlier this week because the iPad's Wi-Fi wireless technology was made according to the U. S. standard that allows stronger signals than those permitted in Europe and Israel.

Ministry Spokesman, Yechiel Shavi said, "This device's wireless strengths violate Israeli law and will overpower other wireless devices in Israel".

Mr. Shavi said that once Apple comes up with a version of the device made in accordance with European wireless conditions, the injunction will be lifted.

On the other hand, an Apple Spokeswoman said that the "iPad complies with international industry standards for Wi-Fi specifications".

Travelers have been getting laptops and mobile phones built according to U. S. standards, as well as other Apple gadgets with the same wireless configuration, in Israel for years without any unpleasant incident.

Richard Doherty, an Analyst with technology consulting firm, Envisioneering Group, said that Apple is utilizing a standard Wi-Fi chip based on an extensively-used industry standard in the iPad, and the Israeli Government's decision "does not make sense".

He said, "If they're paranoid about the iPad, then they should be paranoid about BlackBerrys and the iPhone".

Customs authorities have seized at least 10 iPads from travelers landing at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport, until now. They are obliged to pay for storage charges till they take their gadgets out of the nation.
