Apple’s App Store for iPhones and iTouches launched today through an update to iTunes. You can’t yet load the apps. onto devices as the latest firmware isn’t out yet but you can browse the store, buy apps. and have it all ready.
To be honest the store itself is underwhelming. They’ve kept the iTunes music store look and feel but application listings just don’t have the same visual appeal as the latest Cold Play or QOTSA album. The app. information page, as in above, look a bit better. The apps themselves seem alright so far, nothing spectacular yet but there are some handy extensions of online services you know and love. Bomberman Touch looks fun but it isn’t available on the Irish iTunes App Store yet. I know music is geographically restricted but since when did software follow borders?
Saying that, I am looking forward to getting my iPhone 2.0 tomorrow and giving this a proper whirl. It will be nice to develop an app. and see it get into the store and onto phones too.
