We launched this site shortly after the iTunes App Store launched. The purpose of 148Apps.com is to provide you with the very best in iPhone and iPod Touch applications through our numerous reviews and latest news sections. Our goal is to sort through the best of the best and provide you with that information so you don’t have to spend your days in front of an iPhone just to find the perfect app for you.
In addition to the reviews and news, we keep track of what’s selling, what’s new and what prices are dropping in the iTunes App Store. We are also on Twitter, Facebook, and Friendfeed.

Why 148 Apps?
148 was the maximum number of applications that you could install at once on the iPhone before 3.0. (9 pages x 16 = 144 + 4 in the static bar at the bottom = 148) As of the launch of 3.0, there can be 180 apps on your phone (11 pages x 16 = 174 +4 in the static bar at the bottom = 180). What happens if you try to install more? Nothing, iTunes lets you do it, but they just don’t show up on the menu.
We thought about changing the name to 180apps.com for about a day, and then ultimately decided that 148apps just rolls off the tongue better. For your convenience though, if you go to 180apps.com you will be redirected our homepage.

Links to the App Store from this site are sent through the iTunes affiliate program. For more info on that program, see this page at Apple.com.
App developers and PR representatives will send us promo codes and promotional products for applications or accessories they want us to review. These are used by our writers to give them access to apps they wouldn’t normally have access to. Though in the end we only are able to review a small percentage of those apps.
