Apple is getting ready to add a whole slew of new locations to its iPhone 4S world domination plan. Starting November 11th, the company’s latest smartphone will be available in Hong Kong, South Korea and 13 additional countries, including Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Malta, Montenegro, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, and Romania. Pre-orders for those locations (save for Albania, El Salvador, Guatemala, Malta, Montenegro and Panama) will begin on the 4th. The handset is currently available in 29 countries — that number will increase to more than 70 by year’s end. Press info can be found after the break.

We knew that the Lumia 800 would be making its way to the UK sometime in November, but today, that timeline has become slightly more specific. We’ve just received confirmation that Nokia’s “first real Windows Phone” will indeed be available within the UK on November 16th, just a day before Samsung unleashes its Galaxy Nexus handset to British users. Last month, the company confirmed that the device would be priced at €420, though there’s no word yet on what that price tag may look like in sterling. As always, we’ll let you know as soon as we hear more.

This one’s been in the works for a little while now, but the EU has just taken another step toward making 4G coverage a continental reality. Last week, the European Commission, European Parliament and member states of the European Council reached what they’re calling an “informal compromise” on a new radio spectrum policy. Under the proposed agreement, member countries would have to free up (read: “auction off”) their 800MHz frequency bands for broadband service by January 1, 2013, as part of Parliament’s plan to accelerate broadband rollout by using spectrum once devoted to analog TV frequencies. The idea is to allocate 1200MHz to mobile traffic sometime after the year 2013, but before the end of 2015. Government authorities would retain the right to allocate their country’s radio frequencies as they see fit, though distribution across ISPs and users falls under the EU’s aegis — which is where the proposed Radio Spectrum Policy Programme comes in. A draft of the deal has already received approval, though a final version must still be ratified by the European Parliament’s Industry, Research and Energy Committee on November 10th, before making its way to Parliament for a full vote.

When HP decided to discontinue the TouchPad tablet and drop the price to just $99, it wasn’t surprising to see the devices fly off the shelves. The market was there for a tablet that performed at the right price point, and led us to suggest every tablet should be $99. Supplies soon dried up, but […]

RapidShare has always been one of those sites that has seemed rather clunky. When you visited it to download a file you had to spend too much time trying to navigate around just to find where you could initiate the transfer. That’s not the case anymore! They’ve actually revamped the interface, cleaned up the site, and it’s not half bad.

If you’re not a paid premium user you’ll still have to wait for your downloads to begin, and also enter in a captcha, but getting from point A to point B is a smooth experience. Or you might get lucky and hit what they refer to as “happy hour,” where all restrictions are removed for free users (no captchas or download timers) for a short period of time.

Take a look at what the new download page looks like (the timer is replaced with the captcha once it finishes counting down):

Those of you who have forked out the money for a RapidShare premium account will also enjoy the increased download limits: you can now grab 50GB of files in a 5-day period instead of just 25GB. A premium account is about $10 per month when purchased one month at a time, but you can receive rather significant discounts depending on how much you pay ahead of time. If you’re a regular over at RapidShare I’m sure the premium account would be well worth it.
