Developers have created a new browser based App store, similar to cydia, but on the web.  If you are familiar with the Android Marketplace or the Amazon App Store, this new Lima App Store allows you to download and install via the web. With Cydia getting over a million hits a day, the jailbreak market is still going strong, leaving no doubt that this Lima App Store will be a success.  The store is not up yet, but developers are stating that it will be available soon.
