Bodega expects to thrive along side Mac App Store

Competition is a good thing, and the leads behind Bodega say they'll be there right alongside the Mac App Store when it debuts tomorrow.

"Bodega is not going anywhere," product designer Phil Letourneau told The Loop. "It will continue to grow in terms of developers and customers coming into Bodega."

Bodega recently updated to version 1.3, and Freshcode is promoting the software as an approval-free alternative to the Mac App Store -- unless submissions are offensive or contain illegal content -- with no restrictions to APIs. Developers will also incur more revenue -- 93 percent with Bodega versus 70 percent for Apple.

We wish the folks behind Bodega good luck and look forward to what Apple will reveal on the 6th.

I've been trying to download it for days with no success. Is there another source for Bodega.zip?

The problem is that Bodega isn't anywhere. At least Cydia will have brand appeal (even though it's pointless too).
