you want to upload to the latest 2.0.2 version of the iPhone operating
system, and you have a PC, check out the new QuickPwn for Windows,
which now supports it. Yippee Kai Yay and all that. Mac users, hold on
because they are working on the Mac version too. Until then, you can
always use Pwnage. [iPhone Dev]

First iPhone App Store Walkthrough (Verdict: Works Perfectly)
The iPhone App Store is now available in both the iPhone 2.0 and iTunes. Watch this space for updates and videos as we walk through it, liveblog style. Updated after the jump with videos detailing all the store sections, downloading, uninstall. Verdict so far: works perfectly.The App Store works great on the iPhone 2.0. Fast. Beautiful interface. Simple. It's localized, so you will require an account from the iTunes country you are accessing from (my spanish iTunes account didn't allow me to download things from the App Store in the UK.
I'm installing the AIM client now. Doing video. Keep checking back.

The installation was flawless. The icon appears in your iPhone screen instantly and you can see a progress mini-bar showing how much is left. Over wireless, AIM for iPhone installed in a few seconds. Another video coming up now.

The navigation is very easy. The whole mechanism is more
straightforward than Installer.app. You just use the store to buy
things and the updates are presented in a dedicated screen. At the
beginning I looked for a place to uninstall applications but nothing
was there. The answer is simple: just go into the iPhone home screen,
hold an icon for a few seconds and the X to delete the application will
appear, just like when you add a web page to the homescreen.

Apparently some readers are reporting that some applications are not
available in certain countries in the iTunes App store. I've yet to
find this problem in the iPhone App Store, though. If you want me to
try any app, tell me.
7:04EST
I'm downloading applications left, right and center, including the new iTunes Remote application.
7:16EST
The search engine does it by keywords, apparently. New video on all the sections coming in a few minutes.
7:35EST
Here's how you uninstall any application on the iPhone. It can't be more simple.

Going to buy an app now. Probably Monkey Ball, but ping me on my tips AIM if you thing something is better.
7:50EST
Second part of the walkthrough.
8:13EST
I've downloaded Monkey Ball but it's not working in my iPhone Classic.
Going to back it up to iTunes. Video of this coming up now.

The backup process started automatically as soon as I connected it, but it's taking a long time to complete.

Sorry for the delay, but I've been playing with the iPhone remote
control and other apps. This is just too much fun. Feels like Xmas
money. The quality of some of these applications are just amazing. A
post on the purchasing process, which works exactly as the free stuff,
one-click and install, is coming up in few minutes.
9:29EST
Here's a brief clip on the purchase of Monkey Ball. Very simple as I
said, one click. It took ages to install because apparently it is
really big.
Stay tuned for the Remote hand-on.

The remote hands-on is live here.
Apple Remote iPhone App Controls Your iTunes Over Wi-Fi
The App store went live a few minutes ago and the remote app we saw last week
went live as well. It controls your iTunes through a screen that looks
just like the regular iPhone/iPod touch player, and it only works
through Wi-Fi. You can control AppleTVs, too, and you can also control
speaker output.
First iTunes Remote App for iPhone Hands-On
There's only one word to describe the new iPhone remote for iTunes: perfectomfgthisissocool. As you can see in the video, it just works, giving you full control of all the music, video, podcasts, and movies stored in your computer or AppleTV. It doesn't transmit them to your iPhone. It just works to control iTunes or your Apple TV directly. The applications shows you the art, your personal playlists (including the smart ones), all in real time. Updated: second part of the video is up, plus some more impressions. Verdict: download it now.
The whole thing feels like having iTunes on the palm of your hand. Once you authenticate your remote by entering a four digit code—the iPhone or iPod touch needs to be in the same wireless network—it's all a matter of opening the application and start surfing your iTunes library.
There are five sections in the remote:
Playlists
Here you have access to your personal playlists, just like in iTunes.
This includes the smart playlists as well. All changes in iTunes are
reflected in real time in the remote, just as you would expect.
Artists
This is a browser view by artist, which looks identical to the one in the iPod.
Albums
Same as Artists. Here you can see the artwork, streamed directly from iTunes.
Search
The search engine is a little bit weird but works great. It's live, so
when you start writing, the results start to appear in the screen.
However, you can't click directly on the list. When you are done
writing whatever you are searching for, you click on the result list
and it activates. Then you can scroll through it, with all your results
neatly organized by Albums, Artists, and Songs.
More
Here you will find access to the rest of the media in iTunes, from audiobooks to music videos and, of course, movies.
You can associate several libraries to the remote. There is a Settings button on the top left corner. When you click on it, you can Add Library and also turn on the Stay Connected option, which is listed under Performance. I don't know if this is related to Wi-Fi power consumption or just to the fact that, while being always connected, you won't need to reconnect after your iPhone awakes.
There are no delays in the operation so far. Everything works fast and smoothly. Now, the only thing I want is having playback in the iPhone. Not just control iTunes remotely, but actually access the media from the iPhone or iPod touch, via Wi-Fi or via 3G network. That would be the key to avoid having too little space: get an unlimited data plan and just access everything in your computer remotely. We can only hope that this is what Steve & Co. have in mind for the next version.
