back to article Apple's App Store parades surprise new Catalog model

Apple has launched a new App Store category called Catalogs in what could be a tantalising glimpse of something bigger to be unveiled tonight at the next-gen iPad launch.

    Um, why not include Lego?

    They would hardly stick random apps in this section without talking to the devs if it's going to be a new branch of in app sales, ergo it's simply organisational.

      Most LEGO bricks have sharp corners.

      The Minifig head, however...

      Maybe they'll go for a partial infringment claim.

    The laminated book of dreams, coming to an iPad near you.

    But does Apple have a 1000% APR In-App Purchase credit system to go with it?
