Accessibility Information about the iPad http://abilitynet.wetpaint.com/page/Apple+iPad (Alison Wootton)

AppExplorer.com is a handy alternative to iTunes search. You can search for iPhone, iPad, or iPod specific apps and filter them by category, price, or user rating. http://www.appexplorer.com (Jan Farmer)

AppStoreHQ taps into the leading tech and iPhone blogs and Twitter to get the entire buzz on iPhone, iPad and Android apps. It calculates the ‘hotness’ of a particular app by tracking mentions of it on the blogosphere and Twitter. It is this carefully cultivated index of mobile apps you can search through for the download. http://www.appstorehq.com (Jan Farmer)

Uquery.com is a search engine that converges on iPhone & iPod Touch applications. For your search results, you can get to the right app by using the filters on the left of the page. A star rating system and recommendations (Facebook login required) help to get the better ones. http://www.uquery.com (Jan Farmer)
