Admittedly, this is kind of a gray area as it concerns the CrunchGear iPhone Hype Moratorium we announced yesterday. I suppose we technically promised not to write about the new device itself, so stuff like applications could be considered fair game.

At any rate, some interesting news has broken – that news being that the App Store launched a bit early. Mr. Arrington has the story over on TechCrunch, complete with screengrabs and the above video.

Here’s the short version; Download iTunes 7.7 and the app store should be there.
