[gusty987]

download apps via EDGE!

 

[somberlaine]

my expectations were pretty low but...

This is HUGE.

"I can easily search, I can tap on it... this one's free... and it's wirelessly downloaded [over the air!] to the iPhone via cellular or WiFi."

So some are free at least...

 

[jmorrison0722]

Hey there are games up on iTunes for the iPhone already!!!

Just kidding.

 

[chicagostars]

cross those fingers

Maybe in a month or two we'll get an Adium client for iPhone. It handles all the instant messaging services!

That would be a great addition to cover us all. Why cry about MSN v. AIM anyway?

 

[skeen]

Nice, free apps will be available via the App Store.

 

[bytethese]

Haha, damn. App Store looks to work exactly like Installer.app.

 

[DJ88]

Devs pick price!

 

[atad6]

ha, the catch probably is that all those apps are running on prototype iphone 2 hardware with 3g, which at the end of the show will be announced.

or that consumers won't be able to have access to these apps until the summer

or some crazy protection scheme that makes it a pain to licence apps

or they could simply release it today, which would be amazing

one of the photos on Gizmodo shows free apps. I will resume hyperventilating.

for the apps, devs gets 70% rev and apple takes 30%

 

[11800506]

Free apps are possible with Apps Store!

 

[stompy]

So far, the highlights look really good.

Impressive.

Waiting on conditions of distributing iPhone Apps.

no charge for free apps at all!

 

[justflie]

There are goign to be free apps available for wireless downloading!@#!@#

 

[macduke]

APP STORE! Wireless on iPhone! I'm twitching like a tourettes kid!!

 

[onionperson654]

Developers get 70% revenue and Apple gets 30. That's outrageous. Plus, thats revenue not profits.


At least they came up with this totally original idea for an application on the iphone that lets you install other applications and check for updates... wait a sec.....

 

[slffl]

I am totally hyperventilating over here.

I caught my breath....APP STORE!!!? On the phone? That pretty much kills the possibilities off free apps. I hope I'm wrong.

11:05AM - "Let's take a look at the App Store -- featured apps, just added, staff favorites... easy to find stuff and browse the categories. Of course, I can see what the most popular apps are that are being downloaded, I can easily search, I can tap on it... this one's free... and it's wirelessly downloaded [over the air!] to the iPhone via cellular or WiFi."

 

[skeen]

Haha, damn. App Store looks to work exactly like Installer.app.

Well, how else would it work?

 

[DJ88]

THIS IS EPIC!!!! I still can't believe it!

 

[parrotheadmjb]

limitations

limitations include, porn - illegals etc

 

[veeco3110]

i dont understand the monthly payment thing though...

 

[Agathon]

I'd hate to be an Apple hater today.

Let the gloating begin!!!

 

[sunfast]

I want an iphone so badly right now! Must....hang on.....until contract expires....

 

[DJ88]

Please be today, today, today!
