Mac App Store: Google, Mozilla, Skype, Adobe and many others are still absent.

Mac App Store has just launched, and I immediately searched for apps that I always installed on my Macs. A lot of them are not present yet at Mac App Store. No apps from Google, Mozilla, Skype, Adobe and many others.

Are they going to add their apps into Mac App Store later on?

Will Mozilla Foundations ever agree with Apple’s terms on Mac App Store?

Mac App Store: iWork ’09 is still here.

At the launch of Mac App Store, the rumored iWork ’11 is nowhere to be found. Apple is still featuring iWork ’09 on Mac App Store.

It is interesting how Mac App Store automatically detects iWork ’09 installations on my MacBook Pro. Mac App Store also detects that iLife ’11 is installed. It is obvious that the application itself must be Mac App Store compatible so it would be detected when installed.

Angry Birds is available at Mac App Store.

Angry Birds is now available at the newly launched Mac App Store.

On Monday January 5th, 2011, Rovio mentioned in their blog that Angry Birds now available in the Intel AppUp center for netbooks and laptops. It was a little bit odd since there were no mentions of Mac version. Apparently they were a bit hush-hush about it and waited for the launch of Mac App Store today.

Angry Birds for Mac is $4.99, 50% off of its regular price. At least that’s what they said at Mac App Store.

Get ready to waste more time playing Angry Birds!

Apple Remote Desktop is also available on Mac App Store. Since I’ve installed the update through Software Update, I cannot tell if the already installed ARD could be updated through Mac App Store. I’ll try it on a different Mac later today.
