Programmers at Iconfactory spent 1,000 hours creating Twitterific, an application that’s ready to let iPhone owners view and post updates on Twitter’s popular social network. Another software firm named 360mind has already built some 20 applications for the iPhone. In fact, hundreds of developers are set to stock the virtual aisles of the Apple’s new App Store.

Too bad the store hasn’t opened yet.

Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs is expected to disclose more details about the store, a new section of iTunes geared toward software for the iPhone and iPod Touch, on June 9 when he takes the stage at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference. But anxious third-party developers will likely need to wait another few weeks to start selling their wares. “There’s a gold rush mentality at the moment,” says Nick Dalton, CEO of 360mind in Evergreen, Colo. Software firms “want to put a lot of things into the App Store and see what happens.”
