Another possible category (which as a developer looking to create a brand would love) is notify me when "X" developer launches a new game or app. I like this idea!

Not only that, but I can't get him off the phone! Bloody West Coast tech multimillionaires... ;) Seriously though, some interesting ideas there James. Adding Genius to the App Store would be one more differentiator that sets Apple apart. For the on-device store, I think the app would have to be badged with two icons - one for updates and one for notifications of Genius-suggested apps. I foresee one problem though: unlike music, you don't necessarily buy more of the same. If I've got one calculator replacement, I don't need another. However, if I buy racing games, I'd probably like to know when new ones are released. Subscribes? Not only that, but I can’t get him off the phone! Bloody West Coast tech multimillionaires… ;)

I haven't sent it in to Apple yet. I'm assuming that Steve Jobs subscribes to the All About iPhone RSS feed! ^_^ Thanks Nikolay. I haven’t sent it in to Apple yet.

I hope Apple pays attention to this blog. I assume you have send the idea as a feature request in the iPhone feedback page? Excellent idea. I hope Apple pays attention to this blog.
