iPhonexe tracks apps
A new website says it provides an alternate means of searching iPhone apps on the iTunes Store. iPhonexe claims to list all the apps on the iTunes App Store, incorporating some 3,000 titles. Apps are further broken into categories, such as education, entertainment, finance, photography, social and more. Clicking on a listing brings up a page devoted to the chosen app, with full iTunes information and screenshots. Distinguishing the site is a "jailbroken" category of apps, for some of the numerous unofficial titles available.
The website also features a blog, and an iPhonexe products page currently containing five apps. iPhonexe is available as a mobile site at m.iphonexe.com.
How is this done?

Does anyone know how this site exists?
How does it get all the data from Apple's database... about all the new apps?

Way to endear yourself to the Mac way by using EXE....
also guest: either RSS feeds if they exist...or they might have a curl/wget type program that can pretend it's iTunes. I don't believe it's as easy as providing cookies and a user-agent, but maybe it is.. :)

Bear in mind, guest, that most iPhone/iPod users are Windows users, not Mac users. Its just the way it is.

As long as they are using the iPhone that is one upping m$! Personally, I am glad to see a single site listing apps for jailbroken phone along with it's normal counters parts.

I have been using http://www.igoapps.com
It has the all of the apps and shows any price changes. Also I can create an apps list to share with my friends with iphones, so we can see what each other has bought.

Check out http://www.apptism.com/
They integrate news, reviews, and videos for each app in the App store with lots of sorting/filtering options. You can rate and review apps, and track the the apps you have.
