This firefox addon allows you to change the user agent, so you can mimic a mac, or an iphone, or a wii etc.

Gratuitous Space Battles, $16.99 ($19.99 normally)

Chopper 2, $0.99 (will go up to $4.99 soon) (iPhone port, reviewed well but I haven’t tried it)

Normal price is… hmm, well, I guess they’re only $4.99 now on Steam (and they’re “SteamPlay”)… but a dollar saved is a dollar earned!

Precipice of Darkness 1(Mac Store)

Precipice of Darkness 2(Mac Store)

Oh, and Osmos is $4.99 (current Steam price is $9.99):

Osmos(Mac Store)

App Shopper is indeed very useful. Touch arcade is too, I believe they have launched a section for this new store.
