Apple Kills iPad App Leaderboard In iTunes

After promoting iPad applications within the iTunes store, Apple has removed the iPad leaderboards all together. While the rationale behind this move has not been publicly stated, many have suggested that iPad developers are simply not generating a large amount of revenue. This latest move by Apple suggests that initial arguments that the iPad is not a new gold rush for developers may be true.

Tapulous, who has sold over 700,000 copies of “Tap Tap Revenge” in a single day, has sold under 100,000 versions of the application on iPads so far.
