You certainly find a lot of iPhone apps at the official app store, but now you will be able to find a slew of unauthorized iPhone apps available outside the official app store.

The Wall Street Journal has reported that Apple may lose its monopoly over iPhone applications in the time to come. The WSJ has reported that the iPhone apps market will soon see three app stores offering iPhone apps.

Sometime in late last year, Macworld's Chris Breen wrote that "the jailbreaking community lives on and offers some very useful applications that you likely will never see from the App Store."

According to the WSJ, the developer of the Cydia has already opened its own app store that will provided jailbreak developers, a place to sell their applications. Cydia is a software installer developed by 27-year-old California graduate student Jay Freeman. Actually, Cydia is an application that changes your standard iPhone into a modified, or "jailbroken," iPhone on which you can install and run unauthorized iPhone applications.

The WSJ has reported that the applications like Cycorder that lets you use an iPhone as a camcorder or PdaNet, and which lets you use the iPhone's cellular data connection on your computer via a Wi-Fi connection, are already available at the Cydia's app store. In an interview with The WSJ, Freeman has said that Cydia "intends to charge developers no more than the commission Apple does for his site's billing services."

The WSJ has also reported that "Rock Your Phone" is the second app store gearing up to enter the iPhone apps market, and the third app store will only focus on selling iPhone adult games.

According to the WSJ, Apple has well controlled the iPhone application market, until now. The authorized application sellers that sell authorized applications through Apple's app store pay a 30 percent commission to Apple. Several times Apple has rejected the applications and refused to list them on its app store, but now the new, coming up unauthorized app stores will be a big challenge for Apple.
