File this away under, “Yes, there really is an app for that.”

Think of it like Facebook-meets-iTunes’ App Store.  The newly launched AppBoy bills itself as “a social outlet for mobile app lovers.”  Got a great app idea?  Now you can submit it for review or trial to your online friends, who will provide feedback and vote if they like it.  If your idea gets enough votes, you get a portion of the proceeds when your app goes on sale.

Too bad someone already thought of Shazam — I’d be all over that one.
