App Store and mobile me

The web has almost reached a crescendo of frenzied Apple reporting / drooling / expectation for tomorrow’s launch of the iPhone 3G. Today has been pretty exciting too with the release of iTunes 7.7 and also the App Store. This is working perfectly and there are 500+ apps waiting to be downloaded onto the new iPhone 2 software. This has not materialised ‘officially’ yet, but I actually have the upgrade file sitting on my desktop right now:

iPhone software 2.0

I haven’t done anything with it YET, but I think I will just leave it until the official update comes through on iTunes.

What has been a little frustrating is the lack of the new mobileme service, replacing the pretty lame .mac. mobileme has apparently appeared a few times during the day but is currently not live. This is a shame as the new cloud apps look fantastic. To be fair to Apple, it must be a H U G E job to get everything organised - new mobileme, iPhone 2 software, new iPhone 3G and get it all working together - I bet there are some stressed out people in Cupertino!

So, tomorrow, it is off to the local O2 store to score a new iPhone. Not quite the same experience as last year!
