Cydia Store for Jailbroken iPhone and iPod Touch Coming Soon
By Aaron Besson at 5 March, 2009, 2:40 pm
Cydia creator and developer Jay Freeman - aka Saurik announced on Twitter today that he will be launching a new Cydia Store soon for developers who’s apps have not been approved by Apple for distribution via the iTunes App Store will now have a portal to distribute their apps and more importantly control payments and allow comments via Facebook Connect.
Apple has kept tight control of what apps they think are worthy of the AppStore, some apps that either run in the background or access forbidden parts of the iPhone OS and hardware.
The Cydia Store may lead to some pretty cool apps that we have not seem before being released, but the idea of TomTom or Garmin for example seling a GPS app that has been denied by Apple’s AppStore is far fetched. But it will give the more grass roots developers a better way to distribute their apps.
Cydia is NOT a source for pirated apps but rather a source for apps like Cycorder, Winterboard, MobileFinder, Terminal and others that Apple will never allow in the App Store. Great work jay!
