That's all! And by the way, we set up a Get Satisfaction page here if you need any other help! http://getsatisfaction.com/adpinion/products/adpinion_appalanche Best Luke Hi Yuko and Zafarali,

Someone made the point above on going through 10000 apps, six at a time is tedious. I agree. Why can’t I look at 60 at once using my full display?

This looks pretty cool. Now, for my shameless plug... AppBeacon lets you do something very similar. You can "Sink" an app, bookmark it, mark an app as owned, or sink an entire category of apps to start from scratch. We're still working on features and ironing out bugs.
