Now that the iPad is on the way, I'm curious about the kazillion iPhone
(iPad) apps on Apple's web site. Trouble is, Apple seems to provide the
same crummy search capabilities it does for its tech info. I often use
Google to find tech docs on Apple's website in lieu of Apple's own
search function.

So, is there some site which catalogs and evaluates iPhone apps besides
Apple's? I checked VersionTracker, but they didn't have much. Or perhaps
there's some search function on Apple's site I missed. I'm not looking
for any particular kind of app, I just want to survey what's available,
ideally in a compressed laundry list format, the way VersionTracker
presents search results. For a start, I'd like to search for highly
rated, free apps, sorted by category. That way I could find a really
good fart app without having to pay for one. ;) Any pointers? Thanks.
