Apple’s App Store launched with 134 free applications (551 total applications)
While browsing the iTunes Store, I noticed that the App Store, which requires iPhone 2.0 software, is already up and running. In fact, there are 551 applications at launch. Here’s how I gain access to the App Store:
1. Launch iTunes
2. Type “Super Monkey” in the “Search iTunes Store” search box in the upper-right corner of the screen.
3. The “Super Monkey Ball” icon should appear in the middle of the screen inside the “Applications” box. Click on it.
4. Notice that the breadcrumb navigation menu located underneath the volume slider now displays “App Store>Games>Super Monkey Ball”. Click on the “App Store” crumb. Voila! You should now be inside the App Store. Click on the “All iPhone Applications” inside the “Categories” box. You should now be in the “ALL iPhone APPLICATIONS” page. There are a total of 27 pages with each page containing 21 applications except for the last page which only contains 5 applications. So, (26 * 21) + 5 = 551. There are too many applications to list. Here are a few of my favorites:
4 in a Row
Mahjong
Texas Hold’em
BlackJack
Solitaire
SuperPong
Ms. Pac-Man
In all, there are applications for Business, Education, Entertainment, Finance, Games, Healthcare & Fitness, Lifestyle, Music, Navigation, News, Photography, Productivity, Reference, Social Networking, Sports, Travel, Utilities and Weather. Out of the 551 applications, 134 of them are free.
Let me know if you can’t access the App Store. I’d be more than happy to try to help you get there. Otherwise, have fun!
