Shutters go up on Apple Mac App Store
Apple’s Mac App Store – the desktop version of its world-beating App Store for iOS – has stocked the shelves, tidied the counter and flipped the sign in the window to ‘open’.The one-stop shop for buying, downloading and installing software is available as part of Mac OS X Snow Leopard update 10.6.6 and carries over 1,000 apps at launch, a fractional fraction of the 300,000-plus apps available in Apple’s mobile store.As well as the usual suspects (we’re determined not to mention a certain bunch of irate avian types), Apple’s iLife suite is available to buy as individual apps (£9 each), with productivity staples (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) ringing in at £12 a pop.We’ll be peering into the window of Apple’s new shopfront shortly, and reporting back to tell you how we found the experience.It's CES!

You don't have to pay for apps twice on iPhone and iPod or ipad. Just use the same user I'd and computer. I don't pay twice at all. Can't wait to have a look at the mac store though

Its getting increasingly annoying having to pay for the same apps on the iphone, ipad and now Mac. An ability to synchronise across all devices would be nice considering the costs of the hardware.
