Listed towards the bottom of the main page, “Top iPhone apps,” includes 500 iPhone apps that you can sort by popularity, price, release date, or name. You can also filter to view applications in these categories: top 10 free, top 10 paid, newest, most expensive, games, entertainment, and social networking.
There’s even a way to narrow apps by their store category, price range, or publisher, with options for adding and removing multiple criteria to your visual search. You can also use the scrolling bar on the right to visually breeze though thumbnail app images. Mousing over any of the images in the gallery will highlight an individual app’s metadeta, displaying its category, price, rank, and release date immediately under the search box.
We never thought we’d say this, but Microsoft has built one truly impressive way to browse iPhoneiPhoneiPhone apps. Though not perfect — iTunes links would be desirable — Apple could certainly stand to learn a few things from the multi-criteria search functions.
