Apple decided to give a new look to the app store categories, and they did a great job
Apple decided to give a new look to the app store categories, and they did a great job. Now, single categories look just like the home page of the app store featuring ‘What’s Hot’ and ‘New & Noteworthy’ and top paid and free apps. The biggest changes have been made to the ‘all apps’ section. You can now sort by ‘featured’ and ‘name’, while the whole list has a switch to browse paid/free apps.
Even though the iPad will be released internationally tomorrow, Apple already launched the international app store.
Even though the iPad will be released internationally tomorrow, Apple already launched the international app store. At the moment this will be useful just for those of you who got an iPad from the states and want to use your local app store.
Apple keeps itself busy and they already updated their app store, introducing the first draft of iPad apps. There is a handful of apps, some free, but the average price seems to be $3.99. You should be very careful when you purchase apps now.
Apple keeps itself busy and they already updated their app store, introducing the first draft of iPad apps. There is a handful of apps, some free, but the average price seems to be $3.99. You should be very careful when you purchase apps now. Some of the apps got dual-compatibility, meaning they will work on iPhone and iPad , and you only need to buy the app once and you can use it on both devices.
You will know if an app has dual-compatibility, because it has a + sign next to the price ( see Pandora or IM+ in the screenshot above ) . But not all apps and games will work on both devices, so if you want to get your favorite iPhone app on your iPad, you will have to buy the iPad optimized version.
NOTE: iPhone apps will work ( at least, they should work ) on the iPad as well, BUT you will get a 320x480px and not the optimized full screen version of the app.

Apple just sent an email to all developers, telling them that they can submit iPad apps. The process is exactly the same as before ( build and test the app using iPhone SDK, upload it through iTunes Connect, and wait for them to review the app ) . If you upload your app by Saturday, March 27, 5PM PDT, and your app will be accepted, it will be featured in the grand opening of the iPad store.
Just a quick heads-up: Apple announced on their site that the app store will have a special section just for iPad designed apps.
