Apple continues to roll-out web browser integration inside iTunes - now you can preview Apps inside your browser.

In November 2009, Apple introduced iTunes Preview, which allowed users to take a peek inside iTunes using a browser without requiring launch of iTunes itself. The company later added the ability to preview songs within the browser.

This morning, Apple activated the iTunes Preview feature for iPhone / iPod Touch applications in addition.

See it in action by opening this link inside your browser right now - LINK.

Instead of launching a dialogue box which asks if you wish to launch iTunes, you’ll see a page with the app logo, price, description, screenshots, rating, reviews and more in a new window or tab.

For me it loads teh preview page and then instantly goes to iTunes. Seems a bit redundant if its meant to do that.

Works for me! but when I click a link on that page I get redirected to iTunes. Maybe you are using an incapable Browser?

Me too redirects and opens iTunes app.
Maybe because I'm in Argentina?
