Apple is set to officially open the iPhone App Store on Monday, CNet reports.
The App Store - originally announced in March - has been seen as the missing piece of the puzzle that will let iPhone users start running new and exciting (and officially approved) apps without having to Jailbreak their phones.
According to CNet’s sources, Apple has been frantically pushing applications through its acceptance program in preparation for the store’s launch. The announcement is expected to be made on Monday, June 9 at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference - together with the launch of the new 3G iPhone.
Currently, the only way to get applications on your iPhone is by ‘jailbreaking’ it (and voiding your warranty). Although the app store will offer an officially approved way up running applications, it’s worth noting that you will only be able to run applications that Apple officially approves of. This will presumably exclude any apps that might tred on the toes of Apple’s mobile operator partners, such Fring or similar VoIP systems.
