Australian judge orders Apple to pay $2.25 million fine over misleading iPad advertisements

A little over a week ago, we reported that the Australian consumer watchdog, the ACCC, revealed that they wanted Apple to pay a fine of AUD$2.25 million over the 4G branding for its iPad, which they claim misled customers into purchasing the device. Now it seems that the judge presiding over the case has given the ACCC the greenlight and Apple is now expected to pay the fine. In addition to the fine, the judge has also order Apple to pay AUD$300,000 in costs for contravening consumer law. For those who might be hearing about this for the first time, this problem sprung up when Apple first launched its new iPad.
