Regarding the AppStore

[bdawg923]

When the AppStore is released, will it only work with the new firmware, or current firmwares too? I have an iPod touch 1.1.4 and found the AppStore download here: ModMyI.com - iPhone | iPod Touch forums, news, apps, themes. - Downloads - AppStore.app. So if I drag it into my Applications directory and the AppStore is already working (pretend it's July 11 or something), will it work, or will it only work with fw 2.0?

Does anyone read or do they just type
"Never been able to get it to boot. I installed all of the libraries and frameworks it calls...Maybe I'm missing something. If anyone knows what I am missing, please PM me."
QUOTED FROM THE LINK YOU SUPPLIED!!!

I thought it didn't work for that person because, you know, THE APPSTORE IS NOT LIVE YET. See I can type in CAPS too.

If you read my post, I wrote something about it, umm, working, as in, July 11 when Apple allows people to access it.

I imagine it will only work with 2.0 firmware as the apps will have to be installed in var/mobile/library (or equivalent) which apple dosent let you access with current unjailbroken firmwares

I have one more question: When the AppStore is released, will users with jailbroken iPods/iPhones be able to run free Apps from the AppStore if they're "ported" for lack of a better word to Installer?

For example, if I have an iPod with 1.1.4 and an iPhone with 2.0 and the AppStore (which I jailbreak and SSH into) and copy a free app I got from the AppStore, could I then copy that to my iPod and have it work? It should work right since the apps would be just like any other official apps (ie: YouTube, MobileMail, Stocks, etc).

No, not unless the DRM is cracked. Apple said at WWDC that all apps would be fairplay encoded which is updated constantly and is hard to find a new crack for. It isnt going to be easy sadly

And remember not every app from the AppStore will cost money, what was it, about 71% being free?

[redcard]

Yep, 71% of apps will be free. It was supposed to be 72% until the creators of Bob's Magic Crap decided their game was too good to give away for free. Sucks.
