Apple today announced that the Mac App Store is now open for business with

revolutionary App Store experience to the Mac, so you can find great new

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."
Among the Apple app available through the store are iLife '11 applications
