When searching for apps, do you guys usually immediately jump through the whole list? This is something I never do.
However, I will look at apps one at a time and decide which one is best. On iOS 5 this meant clicking on each list item one by one, waiting (forever) for the app page to load, and eventually picking one. Allowing me to browse through apps one at a time and see all the information I need without ever leaving the screen seems like it would encourage discovery, not hurt it. I can even download the app right from the search screen AND I don't get thrown out of the App Store when I start the download so I can just download all the apps I want to try at once. This seems like a huge win to me.

I browse the same way. And this new layout is a welcome change for me. Finally I don't have to drill down every app I'm interested in to see screen shots and comments.

Do other people browse the App Store differently?
