Wait a minute..there is an app store specifically for the Mac?

[SAWYER]

I am a noob to macs, I bought my son a Mini for Christmas and mess with it occasionally. Today I was listening to a podcast(either Buzz Out Loud or Tech Guy) and the app store for mac was mentioned, I had not clue. I thought that was specifically for the touch, iphone and ipad.

I have never heard of an App Store for OS X. It is possible that it is a rumor, I heard something similar shortly after the App Store was first announced. Apple does have a section on their site for applications that you can download, but past that, I am not aware of any single repository for paid OS X applications.

There is a third party application designed to bring some form of the app store experience to the Mac platform, though I don't think it ever really took off. There's nothing official from Apple besides http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/

For reference, here's the third party app: http://appbodega.com/

This is what I thought of when I read the OP.
