That's true, but i have found 5-6 apps for my ipad 2 by just looking at weeks best and it categories best apps for my area.

I would have never looked for this finnish cooking app, but it happened to be that weeks 3th most downloaded application and it's one of the nicest looking and functional apps i have used that will get more content.
Or i would have not known that Finlands largest TV channel made their own app if it was not on the display on the store and it's now my main news source on my portable device. Again the smoothness, looks and content is excellent.

I did not get this from Android for the 6 months i owned GS. I went to the store and the most popular ones on entertainment categories where funnily enough just these cheap fart app type of stuff. Something i have not seen on the Apple side.

Hopefully Android has moved there because the search, displaying best apps at the moment is vital and going a bit deeper than just showing the most popular apps because that can just lead to people downloading them while some quality apps go unnoticed because of that.
