With much discussion around the news world it seems that Apple is launching its Mac App Store and soon.

The Mac App Store is just like the App Store for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. So it's as easy to find and download Mac apps as it is to add your favourite magazine to iPad or a new game to iPod touch.

You can browse Mac apps by category, such as games, productivity, music and more. Or do a quick search for something specific. Read developer descriptions and user reviews. Flip through screenshots. When you find an app you like, click to buy it. The format of the store is likely to follow the iOS store.

The date for launch is rumoured to be 13^thDecember and will be available for those using Snow Leopard and above.
