"vector" Map[] / functional outer product?

greetings,

is there a simpler way to express

	{f@#,g@#}& /@ {a,b,c}

	-> {{f[a],g[a]},{f[b],g[b]},{f[c],g[c]}}

ie. is there some mathematica function ??? such that

	{f,g} ??? {a,b,c}

	-> {{f[a],g[a]},{f[b],g[b]},{f[c],g[c]}}

you might be asking what's so difficult about the "@#,@#,... & /@"  
syntax, but what about when you don't have two functions f,g but 8-10  
functions... the syntax gets ugly fast and hard to read.

note that

	Outer[{f, g}, {a, b, c}]

	-> {{f, g}[a], {f, g}[b], {f, g}[c]}

doesn't work, neither does

	Outer[Apply, {f, g}, {a, b, c}]

	->{{a, b, c},{a, b, c}}


thanks,
Mitch
