In the lead-up to the 2009 release of iTunes and iOS, there were rumors that Apple was working on a way to manage apps in iTunes. This video is a simple Keynote presentation I made around that time to show how Apple could implement these features (and a couple more that I knew would never make it)

After making it, I started posting it to Mac forums and tech sites. It got a lot more pickup than I thought, making it into: AppleInsider, Gizmodo, 9Bits, and a bunch more sites.

All in all the video got almost 500,000 views, which is WAY more than I ever expected. This is what that feature ended up looking like when Apple finally released it:
