iPad Apps Section Revealed on iTunes
By 
MacRumors has managed to access the iPad’s best seller lists on iTunes which reveals several of the iPad App Store launch titles. The lists show several dozen applications with release dates as far back as March 19th. This follows the news we broke yesterday on iPad apps being accepted in the Apps Store in anticipation of the iPads April 3rd launch.
Two things strike us with the news MacRumors was able to discover. First, the price for the iPad apps are higher than what we’re used to seeing for the iPhone or iPod Touch. We don’t know where this trend will go but it’s clear publishers are looking to reverse the price erosion they saw on their apps for the iPhone. Secondly, Apple is going out of their way to make it easy for users to find new apps made specifically for the iPad. Apple has a lot riding on the iPad being a success and it creating a new “third” category of mobile devices. Apple needs to have compelling new apps for the iPad platform to give users a reason to buy yet another mobile device.
Based on Apple’s track record, we feel comfortable in them pulling this off and turning the iPad in to the next big thing. We can’t wait!
