iTunes App Store; Applications Available for Download (sort of)

Applications have already begun showing up in Apple’s iTunes App Store. Many of which are available for download on your computer, if you search for them by name in iTunes. The Facebook App, Whirl and the  AIM Application (iTunes Link courtesy MacRumors), are all available as a free download.

Additionally, Apple has released a free Remote Application (iTunes Link) for your iPhone or iPod Touch.

The Remote Application allows you to control the music on your computer or Apple TV from your iPod touch or iPhone. Play, pause, skip, shuffle. See your songs, playlists, and album art on your iPod touch or iPhone as if you were right in front of your computer. Remote works with your Wi-Fi network, so you can control playback from anywhere in and around your home.

Arn for MacRumors continues to reports that the “App Store working with 2.0 Firmware. Background notifications not yet working. Apple had promised this to be coming in September. For now, AOL’s AIM application only shows new messages after you relaunch the application.”
