TV stuff should land in multimedia, public transport make sense in accessories, tech news would be net along with the rest of the interwebz stuff.

The other thing we can do is look at ios store and play and see how theirs are split. -- You make it, I'll break it! I love my job :) http://www.ubuntu.com http://www.canonical.com
