Future was also named Digital Publisher of the Year for consumer media at Wednesday's PPA digital awards, where Dennis Publishing's The Week was named Digital Edition of the Year.

And also this week Conde Nast announced that it has sold half a million apps of Wired Magazine, Vanity Fair and GQ combined since the launch of Newsstand.
