Apple App Store on iPhone is not displaying all the apps while most of the time it will just display the most popular and latest apps in the market. You could have miss out some good apps which very difficult to find in the app store. Most of the developers will promote their apps across the web to get their app listed on top downloaded faster. Many good apps still hidden and is not easily found by users. You can search by categories, top picks and search keywords.
While OpenAppMkt is similar to AppStore and it is not associated with Apple but it display all Web Apps only. Mean all the apps listing is basically a website or web page which are optimize for iPhone device like Google Map, YouTube and web games. No download is necessary. What you need do is just click the add button and add the web app into your home screen.
The next time you want to open the web app, just touch the app icon on home screen where you have added. OpenAppMkt user interface screen is exactly the same as Apple AppStore such as those back buttons, download button, and screen shots of the app. iPhone users will find it easy to use. Not all the web apps are free though. Some web apps will charge user $1 or more. Some web apps also required user to register and log-in before they can download the app even it is free.
I have added Google Map Web version. It is a bit different than the iPhone built-in version. Web version can share map location easily to others via GMail, YouTube and Buzz. Google Map Web version seems to be a bit slow and lag when viewing the route map area. Unlike the iPhone version which is more stable, accurate and allow to drop pins to change direction.
OpenAppMkt is an alternative web app store for iPhone users. OpenAppMkt is aim to help developer who has been rejected to publish their app on Apple AppStore. If you like web apps, you can consider OpenAppMkt. Currently, it has not much web apps available but the listing will be updated when they have manual picked new apps.
