SHAPE Services, the company that is best known as the developer of the IM+ instant messaging software for multiple platforms, has announced that it has acquired iPhoneApplicationList.com, the site that lists iPhone web-based applications and services. The details of the transaction are not disclosed, but somehow we’re sure the folks behind the mentioned website have benefited.

It’s pure speculation at this stage, but then again it makes perfect sense…
