Dropbox introduces App Directory, adds caching to iOS app
We'll spare you the raves about Dropbox being the perfect cross-platform cloud storage solution and cut right to the latest updates that make it even more awesome. Dropbox has just introduced an App Directory, listing apps on all platforms that play nicely with Dropbox. This includes everything from password storage solution 1Password to Android's UiA contact backup app to ... BlackBerry apps?! Okay, there are only two BlackBerry apps in the directory so far, but it's still amazing how versatile Dropbox is. Meanwhile, the iPhone/iPad version of Dropbox just received a crucial update that includes caching of downloaded files, so you don't have to burn your bandwidth redownloading that 50-meg PDF every time you want to view it. File transfers also work in the background now, which makes the app twice as useful.
Note: Please don't put Dropbox referral links in the comments. They will be deleted, and repeat offenders will be banned. (Thanks for letting us borrow your disclaimer, TUAW!)

My bad, I never saw that last sentence - could you please delete my comment? And asdf, using language like that doesn't help anything.

Annoyingly, the App Directory doesn't indicate which apps are free and which are paid (or how much the paid apps cost).
