Apple has added the ability, should you wish, to preview iPhone and iPod applications via your browser interface prior to opening iTunes.
The option comes after Apple added the ability to do the same with music tracks and albums, including brief 30-second song snippets, last month.
The web based iTunes Preview offers the same information you might find on the iTunes App Store including category, publisher, release date, version, requirements and similar applications along with a small selection of customer reviews.
A gallery of iPhone screen grabs are also included for each application, all of which should make browsing for new applications away from your own computer easier.
However, buying and downloading any application still requires you to open iTunes.
