    Was just browsing the ole app store and noticed they added a new tab to browse everything you have ever purchased. ( scary, I know)

    Very cool feature and we can now see just how bad our addiction..... Er.... I mean how big our collection is!

    Seems to be on ipad at the bottom or on iPhone in the update tab.

    I didn't see that on my brothers iPhone 4 too.But saw on my iPad 2 right after the Keynote got over.

    P.S.It replaces the search button for me.

    Hmm I noticed you've got a 3rd gen, I wonder if its a gen thing. I can't take a screenshot of my ipod atm. Similar to iPad above but doesn't show both sides at once.

    It should be under updates on your iPod. You should also be able to see it on iTunes on your computer. Click the "Purchased" tab/button on the right side of the page under AppStore Games. If it's not there on your iPod, it's a generation issue.

    Could it be that im not using IOS4.3.3? It would'nt be my Generation that is the Issue as im on a 3rd Gen 32GB iPod Touch which will be IOS5 compatible.

    Other than that it could be a US only thing at this time.

    Might as well just wait for IOS5 to have it.

    One i don't get Newspaper Subscriptions so i don't have any point in updating to 4.3.3

    Two whats the point if all i get too see is my purchases? Might as well just get 5.0.0 When it comes out.

    I've had it since WWDC as well I had a look at it a few days ago. I also noticed you can now browse ebooks a lot better in the app store.

    couple of nice additions. I'm in the UK as well.

    I wonder why they don't have movies yet under the purchased list in itunes as well. That would be pretty useful.

    Nice to see this finally in the appstore. I only wish you could choose to hide apps you no longer want to see-- I try out a lot of apps and sometimes there are bad ones that just aren't worth any additional time.

    I didn't try the new "purchased" button, but not sure what it will show and a little bit worried indeed. It is a big amount of bought items, that's too scary if it presents all.
