In a move to update the design and feel of the App Store's individual app pages in iTunes, Apple has made several key changes to the pages which are aimed at allowing for easier, more intuitive access.

Taking center stage in the new design are the app's icon and screenshots which are larger and more visible upon first glance. The app description has been shortened to take two lines by default and may be expanded to access the full description text.

The roll-out has been staggered over the course of Friday night so some pages have the new look and some will retain the old until updated.

Apple this week announced that its App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch is available in 13 new countries. Newcomers to the App Store are the nations of Armenia, Botswana, Bulgaria, Jordan, Kenya, Macedonia, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Niger, Senegal, Tunisia and Uganda.

Developers can now log into their iTunes Connect page to view and update countries where applications are available, Apple announced.

First launched in 2008, the App Store has been a tremendous success for Apple in driving sales of the iPhone and iPod touch. Last month, the company announced that more than 140,000 applications are available from the online download destination.
