Apple may have some competition when it comes to selling applications for the iPhone, as renegade stores are springing up online to sell unauthorized apps for the device.

News.com reports via the WSJ A developer is planning to launch on Friday a new service called Cydia store that could sell hundreds of iPhone applications. The apps aren't available through Apple's official store, and they require 'jailbroken' iPhones.

Such iPhones have software downloaded that modifies the device to run any application.The article also mentioned another developer, Rock Your Phone which also plans to sell unauthorized iPhone apps. But this store won't require iPhones to be modified, the article says.

Some of the applications that will be found in non-Apple app stores are ones that Apple won't carry in its own store. For example, there is one application for turning the phone into a modem for laptops and another that turns the iPhone into a camcorder. Other applications might include adult games, which are not sold in Apple's App Store.
