If you buy an iPad I don't see how Apple can tell you what you can and cannot do with it.

I second asking Apple. A year or two ago, there was an issue with the iPad wifi signal level being higher then allowed by Israeli standards. http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technol...-sial.html Don't actually know what finally happened. But checking on what rules apply in the Southern Hemisphere seems prudent.

In the Southern hemisphere, iPads sync clockwise.

Brazil has some heavy customs taxes 50% on any "gifts" over $500. So this will be an expensive gift from corporate.

Somewhat related, Apple/Foxconn are building a factory in Brazil as a way around import taxes for local sales.

Good point, we have brought things in before and have paid unbelievable taxes and fees to do so.
