Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the top-grossing iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad applications, as current that day in the iTunes App Store. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Tap Pet Hotel and Feed Me Oil earning top iPhone sales, while Tap Zoo and Call of Atlantis HD emerge as big sellers on the iPad.
