I can't believe it! Look at that interface! It's like, well, exactly what anyone would figure it would look like. But, I don't know. Taking such images and stuff, and then leaping into speculation territory that Apple is doing 'live' testing. Well, that's just a reach. Such amateurs. They should leave the speculation to the pros (like stock analysts).

What they're most likely doing is opening the store to each and every current developer, but one at a time, to see who spreads out pictures. That way they can revoke their certificate.

That sounds more like Apple.

...leave immediatly. Do not pay attention to that stuff behind the curtain. You have entered the Apple Zone!

testudo - do you even do anything productive or just sit in front of a screen and sarcastically comment on other people's efforts?

"It's like, well, exactly what anyone would figure it would look like."

No, I would not have imagined anything that ugly. I'd be surprise if it's real.

Testudo is absolutely right (though in a somewhat hypocritical way - since he ends his post with speculation)... Not only is this non-news, it's also at least a day late. MacNN has been slipping lately. They still havent posted about the Cambridge store I tipped them off about a while ago, yet they posted about a Liverpool store...

I didn't realize 2.0 was jailbroken already. If it isn't, then, that's a pretty nice mock-up of the App Store on a T-Mobile jailbroken iPnone, I guess.

I thought jailbreaking was needed to install apps, but using it with another carrier was something completely different.

Comes up with a clever idea, and gets pounced on...

Think about it: Apple's totally nuts about keeping things under wraps. This doesn't sound like a bad way to ferret out leakers - give beta testers access to the "App Store" one at a time, give each of them a default screen with unique identifiers (# of apps, # of reviews) and then when a shot leaks out, they know who did the leaking.

Sounds anal-retentive as all get out, but if anyone's capable of it, it's Apple :)

testudo is not pounced on for his speculation, he's pounced on for trashing someone else's speculation before offering his. the only difference is that he didn't post pictures. it's his mo, his raison d'etre. put down then describe his way of doing it, like his can't stand on it's own, another has to be trashed first.

If this is a north American iPhone then Apple is likely to be less than pleased with the "T-Mobile" banner more than the leaked screen shots.
