Apple has started rolling out a <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090219063427/http://www.ifoapplestore.com/db/2009/02/12/apple-plans-major-store-space-reorganization/">new store layout</a> to showcase software instead of hardware and the App Store is following suit.</p> <p>Apple plans to place top 25 games and applications on the iPhone and iPod touch demo units in an effort to showcase what the App Store has to offer.</p> <p>The iPod touch demo units will contain top 25 family games and top 25 children’s games. The applications will be updated monthly to reflect the App Store’s top 25 lists.</p> <p>The iPhone demo units will instead contain the top 25 travel applications and top 25 lifestyle applications. These units will be updated monthly as well.</p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090219063427/http://www.eeenmachine.com/">Ian Marsh</a>, the developer of the popular App Store game <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090219063427/http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=xopnEjj17ns&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewSoftware%253Fid%253D291591378%2526amp%253Bmt%253D8">Scoops</a>, has confirmed with us that he was contacted personally by Apple to put together a special build of his game but he was never informed what it would be used for, he had to simply find out like the rest of us.</p> <p>This is a heads up to all of the developers who were contacted by Apple for a special application build, go to your local Apple store to possibly witness your application on a demo unit.
