10.8. The App Store

The iPhone App Store is where users can purchase or download applications for their iPhone. Application development can be a fairly complicated task. If you are looking for a specific function outside of the iPhone's default software, it's never a bad idea to see if such a tool is already on the market before committing development resources to the task. The App Store should be the first place you look. To access the App Store, open iTunes and click on the iTunes Store listing under STORE. Then click on the link for App Store (see Figure 10-32).

You will now be able to browse, buy, and download applications.
