Apple's iPad App Store now accessible through iTunes
App Store software that will be available for download for Apple's iPad when it launches in the U.S. on Saturday can now be viewed through the iTunes Store via the desktop client.
Apple has said more than 1,000 iPad-specific applications will be available for download when the new hardware goes on sale April 3. A search for the terms "iPad," "HD" or "XL" in the iTunes Store gives users an option to narrow their search to iPad-only applications.
Many of the applications available will be familiar to existing iPhone and iPod touch users, as developers have released new versions of their popular applications formatted for the iPad's larger 9.7-inch screen. Applications such as "Scrabble for iPad" ($9.99), "Brushes - iPad Edition" ($9.99), and "Twitterific for iPad" (free) can all be previewed through iTunes.
