iPhone App Store now officially online

The 3G iPhone doesn't come out until tomorrow but Apple has activated the App Store and released the 2.0 firmware for the first-generation iPhone. Just download iTunes 7.7 and click the new App Store link in the iTunes Store. There are some very promising ones in there including eBooks, games, chat, calculators, finance managers, and many more.

Now, one thing you may have noticed is a distinct lack of any Digital Rebellion tools in there (or, indeed, any related to filmmaking at all). I'll be honest here - native iPhone application development is not an area I have properly researched yet. I do, however, plan to transition the iPhone-compatible web apps we currently have to fully-fledged iPhone Apps eventually but time is currently not on my side. I hope to have all of them ported within the next two months though, assuming Apple grants the company a license (not all developers have been accepted). Do rest assured, however, that the apps will still be available for the ultra-low price of free and in the meantime, you can access them from your phone (now at 3G speeds) from our resources page.

If anyone finds any great iPhone apps for filmmakers in the store, be sure to post them in the comments.
