Apple gets green signal to sell iPads in Shanghai

Apple have been fighting a case in China because of the iPad from a long time now, and finally the Cupertino company can breath a sigh of relief as finally the case is coming to its end, now Shanghai court has given Apple the green signal to Apple to sell iPads over there.

Proview had filed a case against Apple saying that they had the rights for the name “iPad” and said that no iPads can go outside China or can be sold there, this had caused many problems because iPads and almost all the Apple products are manufactured in China and there will be a shortage of iPads if the iPad got banned in China. Anyways things are looking up for Apple, and hope they have settled the matter with Proview after all. Soon we will be seeing the launch of the iPad 3 hopefully in March 1st week. Anyways there is still speculation that the iPad might get banned in southern China, but that is still to see.
