Zoomappy searches iPhone App Store, Android Market and Windows Marketplace

Zoomappy -- it's Zoom Appy, not Zoo Mappy -- is a quick way to search the three main mobile app stores: iPhone, Android Market and Windows Marketplace, all on one site. App icons are laid out in a zoomable grid format, and you can filter apps by publisher, price, sales rankings, whether an app requires Wi-Fi, and more. There are also genre collections available: "games" might be of particular interest.

Of course, I don't know a lot of people (aside from professional app reviewers!) who use more than one mobile OS. Depending on your situation, Zoomappy might not be more useful than just searching the app store in question. If you know the name of the app you're looking for, just go with the regular app store. Zoomappy takes quite a while to load, and there's no point if you don't need the filters. If you really are just browsing, though, give this site a go.
