Newspapers Develop Apps For Galaxy Tablet

While early this year, it seemed that newspapers and magazines were busy talking about their plans for iPad apps, newspapers are now developing apps for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab.

The Wall Street Journal reports: “New York Times Co. and News Corp.’s Wall Street Journal will offer software applications for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, which goes on sale later this year, according to people familiar with the matter. Gannett Co.’s USA Today also is developing a software application, the publisher said.”

Now we certainly expect companies to develop their apps for the technologies available, but we wonder if in the future, companies will refer to their new apps in a more generic form. For example, The Wall Street Journal is releasing a new tablet app. What do you think?
