Yup, there’s not just moose out today for igfest. Looks like the Apple app store could be having it’s long awaited makeover with the release of iTunes 9.

For a while now the store has caused a majority of app developers some real financial tension and many others, a few thousand pieces of gold.

It’s been long said that squeezing your app onto the magical front page will mean nothing but riches and virgins could be thrown at you. And for those stuck on page 2, much like a ‘nearly there SEO strategy’, it’s not quite good enough to line your pocket with digital squilla.

So with the iTunes9, will the mythical stories of app developers buying small islands and amassing coding armies be a thing of folk tales album 2009 ($7.99)? Will a proper and better displaying of app products lead to more spread in consumer purchasing.

Well I suppose I should stop writing and install it then!
