    Not very organized in my opinion.

    (You Need iTunes 9 People) Well this link didn't show changes for me, but this one does: http://bit.ly/5z6Ism

    The worst part is the Huge Screenshots that look out of place, etc. I miss the click left and right screenshot buttons...I am kinda upset with this now :(

    I like how the info on the left side is organized, but the screenshots look way too big and the 'more' buttons were a stupid move

    Like how big the screenshots are now, everything else is okay I guess. Not that it matters that much.

    Ah they messed it all up. I really dislike this compared to the old version.
     
  13. Some better parts, some worse. I like the larger icon and the left column. Seems OK at first glance.

    Users have to click now to read the description? Seriously?

    Now it is even less likely that people will read ANYTHING I put in there!

    Very strange and stupid decision in my view.
     
  14. I do like the icons at the bottom for the "Customers Also Bought" section.

    Hiding the description was indeed a bad move! You have to click the teeny tiny "See More" text link all the way to the right. Who knows why Apple did this, I doubt they polled devs on this. Some of it seems ok though, it's not all bad. Who knows, maybe they will refine it.

    Oh I also like the "Customer Ratings" and "Customer Reviews" section. A lot better now IMO. Though I do agree that they screwed up with the Description part.

    Love the new look!

    Any app with average graphics will stand out like a sore thumb. This new look will put a lot of pressure on the graphic designers to improve their craft. The apps and icons are in the customers face. Absolutely no where to hide. I am working on a new art app that is all based on the graphics so this magnified look is going to help me a lot getting my message across. Love it!

    Not that important, really, if we can believe the reports of the percentage of apps that are bought on the device.

    Im sure blocking out the app description will free up some bandwidth. Maybe thats why they did it.
