App Store altered to ease app browsing


Apple has quietly modified the App Store to ease browsing for iPad and iPhone apps. Now when you enter the App Store, you'll see a split pill button at the top of the page. Clicking on the iPhone or iPad side will take you to the appropriate App Store for the device you selected. Previously, the iPhone and iPad apps were combined on one page with each of the Top Charts on the right-hand side of the store featured the split-pill iPhone-iPad button.

When you search for a non-universal app in the iTunes Store search field, the application will still only be listed under the "iPhone Apps" search results, even though it runs on both the iPhone and the iPad.
