The iPad news just doesn’t stop coming, especially when it comes to the apps. Now there’s an official price point for the Wall Street Journal monthly subscription tailored for the iPad, and it’s a very odd number.

Truphone is the first VoIP application to be accepted into the iPad App Store (though you can probably use any of the iPhone VoIP Apps — hasn’t been verified yet). The bigger question, however, is whether or not you can make VoIP calls over the iPad‘s 3G. The language in the press release is pretty vague on the matter…
“Analysts estimate that Apple pre-sold more than 150,000 iPads on its first day, with 2010 sales on track to hit 4 million,” said Geraldine Wilson, CEO of Truphone. “Every device includes Wi-Fi, and soon, 3G connectivity. That makes them a natural fit for Truphone, which has a long history of giving the iPod Touch and iPhone a broad range of new options for staying in touch. We’re excited by the opportunity to extend our suite of convenient, dependable, high-quality voice functionality and IM services to iPad owners.”
…and I’ve followed up with Truphone PR who say they can’t get an answer until after the weekend. If so, this would be a very interesting proposition. Not just for the iPad. What if Apple releases an iPod Touch 3G in September? Why buy an iPhone at that point?

iPhone developer Nate True has announced his latest project called Wormhole Remote. Nate True is most well known as the creator Tap Tap Revolution during the days before the App Store. Tap Tap Revolution was later acquired by Tapulous and has evolved into the successful Tap Tap Revenge franchise. True has also authored many other jailbreak apps, but this project represents his first official App Store release.

Flurry regularly monitors new project starts by developers within its system to gauge interest across mobile platforms. With over 20,000 apps started by developers within Flurry, we believe this provides meaningful insight on the platforms that most excite developers, and where current resources are being deployed.
Since Apple introduced the iPad in late January, Flurry noted a significant spike in developer support, indicating early excitement for the promise of the device. As April 3 draws near, developers continue to develop for the iPad at a fever pitch. Today Apple added a toggle switch to its online iTunes store that allows consumers to view apps available specifically developed for the iPad. About 2,000 iPad apps were listed upon our initial count.

This morning the iPad app deluge began–at least in the hearts and inboxes of tech journalists everywhere. I, for one, received more than I care to mention, and while I won’t even attempt to begin listing them, I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least mention the new app from Marvel, because, well, I’m a giant comics nerd (man, it feels good to finally get that off my chest.
According to a press release sent out this morning, the new Marvel Comics iPad app features access to "over 500 of Marvel’s greatest comic books, from classic stories, to modern tales." The list of familiar costumed names includes Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, the Hulk, and Thor.

I started watching this video on YouTube and, within seconds, my son was almost magically drawn into my office, staring transfixed at the screen. "This is air hockey?" he asked. "Yes," I replied. "I want it," he said. "It looks fun." My enthusiasm is slightly more tempered, but I think that this is a brilliant choice for an iPad game.
I’m hoping that the game will properly use portrait mode for all uses, regardless of what the video looks like, and that there will be, both, two-player on one device, and the over-the-air Bluetooth support shown on the iTunes description page. For that matter, it would be great to be able to play against a fake opponent, although that is not listed as part of the product description.
According to Bryan Duke of Acceleroto, Air Hockey will sell for $0.99 on the iTunes Store. There’s a free "Gold" version as well.
