Apple's iPhone App Store coming next week

It looks like the iPhone App Store – the shop where you can to pick up all the free and paid-for third party applications for your Apple mobile – could officially be coming next week, (presumably alongside the 3G iPhone).

CNET quotes a source as hinting the App Store will be up and running on Monday. More good news for iPhone apps from iPhone Atlas: after making developers wait months for approval into the iPhone Developer Program, Apple is apparently sending out a slew of acceptances. More proof the App Store’s coming?

Apple’s download centre (the App Store equivalent for the Mac) is deliciously addictive. Hopefully the App Store will mean more of the same – and who knows, might even kill off the jailbreaking trend.
