A pirate version of Apple’s App Store, selling iOS apps that let iPhone or iPad owners skirt iTunes and install apps, with no jailbreak required is operating out of China. It has been running for nearly a year and I am surprised that Apple’s lawyers have not interjected yet.

However, the website is planning an international web version later this year, but only for windows not mac. Somehow, I imagine Apple will strike soon.

Also bear in mind, if you get apps from unknown sources, you do not know if any malware or code has been added to an app.
