Apple’s much anticipated Mac App Store is now open. Apple also pushed out Mac OS X 10.6.6, which is required for the Mac App Store to run. The update is around 145MB and is available via Software Update.
Once you’ve installed the 10.6.6 update, you’ll see an icon for ‘App Store’ in your Applications folder, and it will have been automatically added to your dock for you as well.
Here’s a quote from Apple’s official announcement:
Apple today announced that the Mac App Store is now open for business with more than 1,000 free and paid apps. The Mac App Store brings the revolutionary App Store experience to the Mac, so you can find great new apps, buy them using your iTunes account, download and install them in just one step. The Mac App Store is available for Snow Leopard users through Software Update as part of Mac OS X v10.6.6.
“With more than 1,000 apps, the Mac App Store is off to a great start,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We think users are going to love this innovative new way to discover and buy their favorite apps.”
Some of the applications accompanying the Mac App Store launch are, of course, Apple’s own iLife ’11 and iWork suites of software, with each application now available for sale individually.
