Mac App Store

The Macintosh application store was released today and there are already many apps on there. It is a follower of the already successful iOS App store and could very well catch on. 


Throughout the day a large number of applications were added. Although they may be expensive, they are appealing to Macintosh users and worth taking a look at. 


There is an update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard to obtain the app store. You use your existing Apple ID to buy and download apps like you would on your iPhone. Apple's iLife '11 and iWork '09 suites are split up into individual applications with the iLife applications going for $14.99 a piece and the iWork applications selling for $19.99 each.
This is a great way to buy software for Mac now as customers no longer have to go to a store to buy software, they just go to their Mac and open the app store.
