I want to provide a link (from within app) to our app in the AppStore,
so that users can easily rate and review us. I can do window.open()
using our iTunes url, but it loads a bit slowly. Is there a better way?

Just use your link to your apps page, the iphone will automatically go the the appstore page for your app

this is my link that use: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/6mwt/id500964870?mt=8 , its different in a browser, but in an iphone it will go to the appstore

This is a weired thing, but I noticed

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id500964870

also works. For any apps, you just need appid,

also, in an iphone

itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id500964870

Anchor tag with the link will do I believe. Also, to create the iTunes
link, see the first bullet point on this page:

I prefer to use my name. That way the user will see all my apps at once: http://itunes.com/apps/stevehusting

there is a full reference page on apple.com including the various ways
of building appstore URLs.
