A new magazine mobile app was launched on Android ahead of the Apple App Store presumably because the app may conflict with some of Apples policies; and choosing to release the app on Google Play initially may have been a move by the publishers to force Apple’s hand.

Now, any old ‘basement app developer’ wouldn’t have a look in, but the Next Issue Media app is a joint venture between US magazine publishers Condé Nast, Hearst, Meredith, News Corp. and Time Inc. The combined clout of this lot might just change Apple’s mind!
