Yup, I would also still like to see that ranking, as it helps to check out similar apps (it provided links to related categories). Also, 'Original Release Date' and 'Latest Developer Update' would still be nice to have.

Looking at amazon.co.uk, 'Product details' section is still there.

Although, for the past few days, looking at our app review counter, we didn't see any changes there. It may indicate, that as other things, this part of code just got broken. Maybe a coincidence, though.

Looks like 'Product details' are back! So, I think that was just a bug in the new code that killed that section (it looks a bit different, as the order was changed and maybe text styles - UK version looks like has the old format). With that little change they still managed to butcher it, but hey what is new with how all the code changes are done by Amazon.

The interesting part is the number of ratings. US differs from UK, where I assume that most of the ratings come from US anyway, but UK has just a tad less ratings. If the UK number would be reflecting UK ratings only, I would assume that would be a much smaller number (looking at no of downloads, UK has about 10% of what US has). I guess, another bug.

The slightly modified 'Product details' section is there; however, what is the difference between 'Original Release Date' and 'Date First Available?'

Wouldn't it be more beneficial to have 'Date Last Updated' instead of 'Date First Available?'
