Cydia Store for Mac coming Within Weeks [Say Saurik]

At the 360|MacDev conference, Jay Freeman, the creator of Cydia store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has confirmed that he and his team are working to bring Cydia for Mac OS X and will be available within weeks.

The new Mac Cydia is expected to be rival of Apple’s upcoming Mac App Store.

Cydia store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch provides all apps and tweaks which are not approved by Apple and not available in the App Store, so you can expect much of the same from the Mac Cydia.

According to TUAW reports:

Currently, Cydia Installer has been used by about 10% of all iPhone users, or about 10 million devices. There are well over 30,000 packages available for iOS, and a lot of open source material can be downloaded from Cydia. He refers to Cydia as a store for things that are not apps, but extensions of what iOS devices can do.

Freeman felt that the same type of store would be useful for Mac OS X devices; the result is a Mac Cydia, which will be available “within weeks.

According to Jay Freeman (Saurik), Cydia for Mac will be available within weeks. Developers those are interested in getting their apps to feature in Mac Cydia can contact an employee of Cydia at patrick [at] saurikit [dot] com for more details.

The Mac version of Cydia maybe the perfect store for many developers who like working without going through the painful Apple’s approval process.
