Apple is planning to launch its Mac App Store on December 13, an "inside source" told the blog Appletell.
Apple has reportedly told developers to have their software ready as early as today, but Appletell's source did not think it would happen that early. Delays are possible, the blog said, but there is an internal push to have the app store launched before Christmas.
Last week, Apple released some additional guidelines for the Mac App Store, including a ban on the submission of beta or trial apps, updated rules about file system usage, and suggestions for custom apps.
Apple first announced plans for the app store at the October 20 "Back to the Mac" press event. It will be included in the upcoming Lion OS (slideshow below), set to be released next year, but Apple also wanted to release a version for Snow Leopard this year. Apple started accepted submissions for the Mac App Store on November 3.
