@Bossxii: The AppTheater site is loading fine (and fast) for me.

As a follow up note, I’m not sure who they have hosting their site but it’s horribly slow… then “server cannot be found” If first impressions mean anything… ouch. First and last time I bother using the site.

Good idea, but not a new idea there is a app called AppVee that allows you to use right on your iphone/itouch. The site hasn’t loaded for me yet but I’ll be interested to see which one does a better job. I use the AppVee on my phone alot, if this is usable from my iphone I’ll use it as well. Anything that lets me preview an app before spending money is a good thing!

That’s a pretty good idea. I bought many apps based solely on reviews and screen shots only to regret it the moment I launch the app. Having a video beats by far the static screen shots provided in the App Store. Maybe this is something Apple should incorporate into the App Store, video previews. It would benefit not only the consumer, but those apps that can’t really show well what they do using static images.
