Makes it apparent that the app store is dominated by travel guides and audiobooks

It might change for the best with the new OS. I suppose the main reason there are so many travel guides and books applications is because a different content in basically the same app required a different app. 3.0 should allow having the same app and buy extra content (extra city, book) inside the app.

Seems releasing a free, limited app, is quite popular. Perhaps Apple should add a demo feature?

I find it somewhat amusing that "Offline" appears so much, given that it's an always connected device... coverage pending, of course.

This is really neat. I've been wondering about how to see everything in the app store. What a fantastic use of that data - how were you able to harvest it? And what is a "Supafan"?

I think a tag cloud based on the number of installs of the app would be interesting. As such the most installed apps' tags would be the largest. Just because Travel is the most frequent tag in the store, it doesn't mean that travel-tagged apps are the most installed.
