Here it is, finally.
The latest version of iTunes 7.7 brings the App Store.
Most of the applications are free; and that is an amazing thing for iPhone owners we are!
I’m so happy to see almost all the applications I use daily on my Mac available now for the iPhone like NetNewsWire, Twitterrific, or AIM!
The rumors were right, iTunes 7.7 came with a free utility that enables you to remotely control iTunes from your iPod Touch or iPhone.
No applications to customize the look (icons etc..) of the iPhone yet, but it would be amazing to have a CandyBar for the iPhone!
You can download iTunes 7.7 from here.
I just did another test this morning (sending my @me.com address an email) to see if it has been activated and YES it is active!
To me the transition to mobile can lead to 2 possible scenarios: on my opinion there will be another OS X update (Leopard & Tiger): thesis, but another scenario is possible too: antithesis.

iSofa, wifiTunes, Signal ($30) etc… will be swept way when iTunes 7.7 will be released.
The beta version Apple is seeding to developer comes with a bundled application that will allow you to that.
It should be released maybe today or tomorrow (because the iPhone 3G will be shipped on june 29th) or in two weeks maximum (MobileMe release date july 11th).
Beyond the new remote functionality, iTunes 7.7 is also known to add an Applications tab to let users specify loading only certain software on the phone, and will be necessary for both iPhone 3G and the MobileMe sync service.
wifiTunes enables you to control iTunes via Safari on your iPhone, iPod touch or any modern browser. It builds a bridge between iTunes and your web browser, by providing an embedded web server.
Download WifiTunes (FREE).
PS: this is the 1,111th post on MacAmour blog 
Apple announced today that they had sold over 5 billion songs on iTunes.
According to data from the NPD Group, iTunes remains the number one music retailer in the US.
iTunes features the largest online music catalog with over eight million songs.
Often, Quicktime updates coincide with iTunes updates. Since we know that the 3G iPhone will require iTunes 7.7, we suspect that’s what the “application compatibility” refers to. Apple recommends this release for all QuickTime 7 users. Note that a restart is required.
Every new update brings a heavier and slower iTunes, as soon as you’ll see this screenshot you’ll ask yourself a single question: “why doesn’t Apple split this application into 3 or 4???”, maybe is it because of the iPod/iPhone & Apple TV.
In this screenshot, you’ll see that iTunes 7, (for the moment) handles: Music, Music Videos, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Video Podcasts, Audiobooks, Radio, ITunes Music Store, Ringtone Converter, and of course Handles iPods/iPhones & Apple TV.
It’s a whole operating system!!! And takes more and more time to start…
