After years in which the virtual stores of music, applications and books were only "cosmeticized", this summer the Apple company is about to launch new versions of them. iTunes store, App Store and iBookStore for iOS are the stores that Apple will restore and it seems that some interesting news await us. The changes will be important, and they will focus mainly on the purchase system of the applications and secondarily on the social side of the stores, users will have the option to share, directly from the iOS applications, on Twitter and Facebook links to applications/books/music.
Even if Apple will offer a more pleasant experience for downloading/purchasing applications, the company will not improve the system that allows us to discover new applications. At the moment it is extremely difficult to discover the interesting applications that appear daily in the App Store, and Apple does not seem interested in improving this system now. It is difficult for users to discover interesting titles that have not yet been promoted by developers, titles that are offered at a promotional price or titles available for free, and Apple does not seem interested in solving the situation.
I, for one, am very curious to see what Apple will change in its virtual stores, but I have the impression that these changes will not help us much.
