App Store for Macs Launches Today
The Mac OS version of the App Store launched today. This should be familiar to iOS users who have made the App Store a huge success on their iPhones and iPod Touches. This is also the first of many major changes coming to the Mac OS that will be modeled after Apple’s iOS. Expect a lot more in Mac OS 10.7 “Lion”. It will interest many Mac users that Apple will now be selling iLife and iWork apps individually at $15 and $20 each respectively.
Note that as of now, the new app store is only available to 10.6 “Snow Leopard” users. To get it, simply use Software Update (under the Apple menu) to install the update to 10.6.6.
As an aside, this is precisely why it would not surprise me to see Apple stock hitting $400+ per share this year. This, and the all-but-completely confirmed Verizon iPhone. And of course the soon to come revised iPad. And 10.7 “Lion” is sure to impress as Apple’s market share in personal computers inevitably rises.
