The New Apps Layout in iTunes

While saving some money on pizzas, (it'll make sense in our next post) we noticed the re-formatting of the individual app pages within the app store. While most of the changes are minor, like a larger icon for the app, and a changed placement of contact and support info to the top, the least aesthetically pleasing change to these eyes is the revamped screenshot area.

Previously, each screenshot was presented individually, with a click to move left or right through four screenshots. Now those screenshots appear with a scroll bar, generally with a picture and a half shown by default. Half a picture on screen isn't the kind of design decision we're used to from Apple. Also worth noting the whole thing feels more webpage-like. Is that a coincidence given talk of iTunes going to the web?

Have thoughts on the new layout? Let us know in the comments.
