It sounds like they took Apple's current implementation of the app stores for iOS and OS X, and expanded on the concept. If you're only using one device then these features may not matter, but if you're juggling multiple devices, these features sound like they'd be quite nice. Hopefully Apple will do something similar over the coming years...
