My personal pet hate having gone from iPhone to Android and now owning an iPod Touch: re-entering in my password all the damn time. Especially when it's a free app.

Fix that and I'll be a very happy man.

Basically, Ping for apps. As a developer/ misv in the app store I am not adverse to this idea but do feel the trepidation to its implementation. Keywords are really enough for right now and there is a major reduction in the crapps which in the past ruined customer expectations. In a nutshell, things are good and even improving so please don't break things, Apple (if you're reading)

My biggest gripe with the App Store (both iOS and Mac App Stores) is that you can't sort what you see by downloads, ratings, or other metrics. There's no granularity with the way the user sifts through the App Store, just what Apple deems to be the "Top ___" with whatever secret sauce algorithm they use. The current method of app discovery is great for the average user, but for a power user/developer like myself it leaves much to be desired.

Allow me to disagree. Apple is doing the right thing asking the user confirmation for installing apps. Better safe than sorry.

Confirmation doesn't necessarily require password input.
