The iPad App Store Goes Live

The iPad App Store Goes Live

Posted April 1, 2010 at 4:40pm by
Apple has flicked the switch on the iPad App Store and you can now browse iPad apps directly in iTunes.

Some of the featured applications include: Labyrinth 2 HD, Marvel Comics, The Wall Street Journal, and OmniGraffle.

Apple is using a small plus icon in the left pane of the details page to denote whether an application is designed for both iPhone and iPad.


To locate an app designed only for the iPad, try searching for the app name followed by HD or XL.

Head to iTunes and check it out!

IT SUCKS! Needs to be divided completely! Need an iPod/iPhone App Store and an iPad App Store. Can't find anything under the categories!

So I'm on holidays in Hawaii from Australia and pre-ordered 2 iPads but I won't be able to download the iPad apps until the iPad App Store launches in Australia. I hope Apple make it worldwide on April 3 (iPad App Store)
