Rumors fly about China greenlighting Apple iPad
According to a recent report at Patently Apple, China’s telecommunications bureaucracy last week granted a license for both 4G and 3G networks, which means Apple will be able to sell the latest iPad model on the mainland.
According to China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center website, the license was issued for the Apple device on Monday. Without it, the company couldn’t legally sell the new iPad in the Chinese mainland.
There has been a large gray market for the iPad in China and in late March several news services reported a softening of prices, dropping down towards the actual U.S. retail price. The gray marketeers will be out of luck when the iPad arrives. There have also been stories about fake Apple Stores selling fake Apple products.
