There have been a lot of reports that the Android platform now has over 250,000 apps. I find this a little hard to believe when the Apple App Store only has around 350,000 apps. I know the Android platform has been gaining a lot of adoption recently, but has it really grown this much?
Last month, Google former CEO Eric Schmidt (now chairman) at the Mobile World Congress revealed to the world that the Android Market had surpassed 150,000 apps as of February.
Thus, in a little over 30 days have they really added 100,000 apps!

Sky News have just released their iPad application for Free, however the application is wrapped into the BSkyB subscription package that will happen later this year. If you already subscribe to Sky you will receive the iPad application for free as part of your package, but for everyone else you will have to pay a monthly fee.
These days it seems as though a lot of news organisations are starting to focus on finding ways to charge users to reader their content, but I really cant see this working for general news.
Would pay a subscription for Sky News on your iPad?
It seems like Virgin is about to turn their Project magazine for iPad into a free application. Currently Project is around $2.99 in the App store, but with an ad sponsorship from American Express it can now afford to go free.
It seems like this twist means that there is more money in lucrative sponsorship deals instead of upfront fees. Additionally, under Apples new subscription initiative the publisher won been to give away 30 percent of their income to Apple.
