For min/minonline subscribers only: More than 3 million iPads were sold in the first six months after the beautiful gadget was released by Apple, and tablet sales are expected to ultimately dwarf that figure. Meanwhile, smartphones are becoming a way of life. This marks a sea change in media consumption, and magazine brands have been quick to position themselves as leading providers of mobile content.

In min’s exclusive App Central, you’ll get access to detailed (and graded) reviews of the latest mobile apps, our expanding Magazine Mobile App Database and analysis of mobile app business models, design and technology.
