App store mail list

Apple does a pretty good job of informing me about new material in the
iTunes music store. I get periodic mailings with new artists, albums
and songs.

I would like to see a similar service for the App store. I've been
visiting and buying occasionally but it's hard to find the new stuff
buried under the apps that I've already perused. I'd like to get a
once-a-week or semi-occasional mailing that gives the total number of
applications available and highlights all the new ones. If that's not
possible, I'd like to see the iTunes App store search engine add a
feature... the search item "new." Or, better yet, "new since my last
visit."

Anyone else think this would be useful or have alternative suggestions?

Sure, but the default sort is by date... just load up the free apps
and you will see the most recent apps (or whatever category you want).

Interesting timing! The same day I received your post (Saturday), I received an email
from "The App Store" telling me about new apps and the top ten list.

(Not a lot of info, just links, but that could be because I use a HTMLless email
program.)

There are a couple great RSS feeds, one for new apps and one for updated
apps:
