TechCunch just broke the news that Apple’s App Store is now live. To access it, download iTunes 7.7 here. Once iTunes has upgraded, you can access the App Store here.
You can buy apps on iTunes now, but you’ll need the iPhone 2.0 software to actually use them on the iPhone, which isn’t yet available.
Micheal Arrington over at TechCrunch made an awesome intro video demoing the App stor, which is embedded below:
There are 27 pages of applications currently available, 7 of which are FREE applications. There are also a lot of books being listed as applications as well. I went through most of the apps and below are some of the ones I found interesting:
AIM (free) – Instant messaging finally on non jail broken iPhone or iPod Touch.
Moo-Cow-Music Band ($9.99) – Visual instruments that allow you to create music from scratch. Each instrument was created to leverage the power of the iPhone or iPod Touch (i.e. touch interface).
