Where does the iPhone Simulator store the installed applications?

I want to have a look at the app directory from the iPhone Simulator, so that I can see what kind of files it is creating when I use my app and what stuff is in these files (i.e. when it creates the sqlite file for Core Data and stuff like that).

On Lion the users/[username]/library is hidden.
