Looks like we may see another development today in Apple's ongoing iPad/4G controversy in Australia. The country's Competition and Consumer Commission is meeting with Apple in court again today to try to get Apple to officially change the name of the device when it is sold in Australia.Although many people know it as "the new iPad" since launching the product in March, Apple has also been marketing the product as the new iPad with 'Wi-Fi +4G' in the country. But Apple quickly ran into trouble when the ACCC said Apple was misleading consumers: in fact, the tablet is not actually compatible with Australia's 4G network.Since then, Apple has agreed to refund consumers who bought the device thinking they were getting 4G; and the company has also been putting up notices wherever the iPad is sold warning them that it didn't work with Australia's 4G. But the ACCC, it seems, does not think that this goes far enough.
