and a bit of a surprise, the Apps store is going to start with 500 Apps.

USA Today spoke with Steve Jobs about the impending App Store launch
that is rumored to launch at 9 am PT on Thursday, July 10th.

Jobs reveals that 500 applications will be launching on Thursday and
that it is "the biggest launch" of his career. Apps will be available
from MySpace, Facebook, AOL, eBay, SEGA and many more companies. One
called Pandora allows you to create custom internet radio stations:

Pandora is already available on other phones from AT&T and Sprint, for a
monthly fee. On the iPhone, it is free. That makes it "a credible
alternative to broadcast (radio)," in part because iPhones can be
plugged into car stereos, founder Tim Westergren says.

According to Jobs, at launch, 25% (~125) of the apps will be free while
90% of the remaining applications will be $9.99 or less. Meanwhile, New
York Times has a similar article and pinpoints that one third (~166) of
the apps will be games. A new site called TouchArcade.com is
specifically covering iPhone and iPod touch gaming and has already
covered some interesting possibilities.
