Always thought that the “Installer” app was one of the best ideas ever. For those that don’t know what it is, it is an RSS style feed but rather than have it feed news stories, it feeds the latest applications, updates and what not. It’s sorta like (gasp) Windows update, but works much better because it doesn’t force you to install everything.
On the previous version, it function was great, but the UI was kinda left out in leftfield. (scrolling down about 6 pages past the dictionaries, books and other crap that I don’t really care about) 
Now the great creators at Nullriver have updated the great Installer program that mimics the iTunes store. See the full description here: http://blog.psmxy.org/2007/10/18/nullriver-set-to-release-installerapp-30/
According to Nullriver, the new features are:
- Redesigned UI
- Collapsed groups on the Install page
- “Recents” category on the Install page, for “Today”, “Yesterday” and “Older”
- Ability to easily add/remove Sources
- Abilty to easily install all available updates
- A “Featured” page that currently is used as an info page
- “More Info” no longer opens Safari
Seems like they really ramped things up after hearing the news that Apple will release an SDK for the iPhone and iPod touch February 08.
Unfortunately no pictures, of it yet, but when I will try to bring some to you soon.
