Everyone wants an iPad these days, supermodels included. One such person is Bar Refaeli, who was caught at Tel Aviv’s international airport trying to bring in the newly purchased device without declaring it at customs. Declaring goods is required in Israel for every product worth more than around $200, and iPad definitely costs more.
We don’t blame Refaeli for trying to get her lovely hands on Apple’s tablet. Heck, we don’t even blame her for not paying duties — I’m sure she wanted to do the right thing, but apparently the iPad was in her suitcase that was lost in transit. Now imagine the situation – would you really be in a hurry to declare anything when you’re out of your pants? I know I wouldn’t.
Anyway, Refaeli is now required to pay 650 shekels (about $170) in taxes and fines to get her iBaby back. That’s a small change for any supermodel, but that’s not the point here. The point is – despite being super sexy, iPad can be a trouble, too!

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
