Apple Now Lets You Preview iPhone Applications Directly to Your Browser

by alok on February 4, 2010

 

Apple  launched a feature dubbed iTunes Preview, which enabled users to see what music is available on iTunes and other iPhone Apps from their own Web browser without installing  the desktop software program.

Unlike before, clicking on an iPhone app page does not open the dialog box for iTunes any more. Rather, it takes you to a nice page that lists detailed information about the app (check this for example) including customer reviews, ratings and screenshots.

You also have the option to browse more apps from the same developer and see some similar apps that customers bought. Each app also has a view in iTunes link that takes you to the old method of previewing apps in iTunes.

It is another sign of Apple’s intention to take everything to the cloud pretty soon. It is also something that was much needed, given the huge number of apps in the app store and the ability for users to review an app without opening the iTunes software on their machine.
