Quixey apps search engine

Quixey is a must have online tool for those of us that are "apps addicted". Unless you live in a cave somewhere, you probably have a mobile device like a smart phone or some type of an electronic pad like iPod or a hacked Nook Color. And if you do, you probably spend a considerable amount of time at the Apple app store, or the Android Market searching for that next cool app.

The Quixey app search engine can make your search easier, you simply type the type of app you are looking for (for example: todo), and the result is a list of apps grouped by a device type, for example: Android,  Blackberry, iPad, Chrome add-on, and much more. You can also filter by Paid or Free apps, and by the app compatibility with other common tools like Dropbox (which basically means: "show me all apps that integrate with Dropbox").

The search result shows a list of apps that meet your criteria, the app icon,  and the app description. Quixey is very intuitive and visually pleasing.

The eyeOS desktop  seem a little immature and is not as mooth as I would like it to be, but the general concept is pretty cool and once they work out all the bugs and kinks it should work pretty nice.
