Here are my top iPad news apps:
An overall great app for finding out today's news articles, pictures, videos and financial data. Homepage articles can be scrolled horizontally whilst vertical scrolling shows news categories. Images and text in articles can be enlarged.
Great for live sport, latest scores, breaking news and articles - no other sports app has content updated as often as the Eurosport app.
Similar to the Reuters app in content, the BBC News app shows the recent articles on the left (in horizontal mode) and at the top (in vertical mode) allowing you to easily browse through articles.
Best app for social media/technology news. I like how the articles appear over the headlines through i do find myself knocking the previous and next buttons by accident.
Great for in depth financial news and data. The app also lets you keep a portfolio of the shares you own.
The FT app is more article based than the Bloomberg app but has some nice features including being able to horizontal scroll between articles.
A great app for viewing current photos on the iPad, I like how with each picture it tells you a little about how the photographer got the shot.
Again another nice photo based application, I like how photos can be displayed as a slide show.
Not strictly a news app but a great app for finding out the weather.
Know any other great news apps? If so share them below!

I live opposite the Ditherington Flaxmill in Shrewsbury - the oldest iron structure building in the world. It's fallen into disrepair over the past 20-30 years however we had the chance to look at the plans for redevelopment. At the same time I took some photos of the accessible areas:
The road facing side of the main building is covered in scaffolding.
The mill closed in the 1980's, it has been abandoned since.
The site has a very strange feel to it.
The architects behind the two phase redevelopment are applying for planning permission.
Shropshire Maltings.
There are various regeneration plans for the South Silo including turning it into a clean energy building with a Bio Mass boiler.
All windows have either been boarded up or smashed.
The out lying buildings are set to be turned into offices or apartments.
The delivery point for the south silo.
The internal structure is held up with scaffolding. Many of the architects plans deal with how to support the current structure with a modern steel frame.
Signs still exist from the Flaxmills long history.
The redevelopment plans have wide public support.
