iTunes App Store to launch June 27th?

The iTunes App Store appears to be ready for a June 27th launch rather than the early July time frame that was announced by Steve Jobs at WWDC on Monday.

Yooph has posted an image listing June 27th as the launch date for the iTunes App Store, a key component of the iPhone 2.0 update. The image was found on Apple Australia’s iPod touch page.

Jobs said during the keynote that the iPhone 2.0 firmware release would be available early July. It is likely, however, that June 27th was Apple’s previously planned release date for the software and that the momentary display of that image was a simple mistake.

Apple announced the launch of iPhone 3G on July 11th in 70 countries. The new model will include the iPhone 2.0 firmware.
