We all knew that the launch of the new iphone 3G was going to be a hype-fest. But, would it matter to app makers? Would it move the needle on traffic to their sites?

UrbanSpoon, with a team of just 4 fulltime employees, is now neck-and-neck with the mighty zagat.com when it comes to traffic for restaurant reviews (according to Alexa data).
