Apple iPad App Store finally live
Apple has rolled out the iPad mobile bazaar to a bunch of international markets. Previously, users had to download iPad apps through iTunes and then transfer them by sync, but with the changes, users will be able to browse and download apps from the iPad itself. This will help iPad users who belong to international countries, purchase iPads from the US or by having a friend buy one for them.
The iPad launches internationally on May 28, when both the Wi-Fi and 3G + Wi-Fi versions of the devices will go on sale in nine countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Pricing varies from country to country due to a number of considerations, including local tax laws and import regulations–a fact that has been the source of some controversy since the release date was announced (and then postponed) by Apple.

Apple Approves Opera Mini Browser for iPhone
Today Opera announced that Apple has approved the Apple version of Opera Mini and it will be made available in the iPhone Apps Store at some point in the next 24 hours for free. Opera Mini, with more than 50 million users worldwide, enables fast mobile Web browsing by compressing data by up to 90 percent before sending content to the device, resulting in significantly improved page loading. Users of the app will notice an uptake in speed, especially on slower networks such as the 2G Edge network.

This will hold especially true while the user is incurring roaming charges.
