Mplayit, known for their Facebook portals that support app discovery on iPhone, BlackBerry and Android, has now announced to start supporting iPad Applications.
Though the launch of this additional category is not that surprising, the company is now receiving direct competition from Apple which launched a Facebook discovery service as well.
"With all the hype surrounding the launch of the iPad and talk of premium prices being charged for apps, consumers need a trusted source to find the best apps for their new iPads," said Powers. "From our success with the iPhone Arcade, we know that consumers trust their friends and industry experts. We let consumers tap into their friends and networks to try and share apps, and, with the App Guru program, consumers get the benefit of expert opinions from the leading mobile blogs and technology writers."
"The release of the iPad, on top of the recent surge in popularity of the Android platform, is bringing more and more interest in apps and compounding the issue of discovery for both consumers and developers," said Powers. "We've built an app discovery experience that ensures consumers get the apps they want from people they trust, and developers are able to connect directly with consumers. We're excited to bring our experience to the iPad on the day of its launch."
