NonLinear Software used the music show of the National Association of Music Merchants in Anaheim, Calif., this week to unveil its newest product, AppOmator.

Among others, many individuals and companies in the music industry see opportunities in building their own additions to the 100,000 app-strong App Store. Creating an app that suits one's business goals or personal tastes, however, isn't necessarily easy. While some Web services provide templates to build an app, NonLinear's Mac desktop application lets users fully customize their app.

Using AppOmater, you can add custom graphics for the background and menu transitions, as well as the ability to create buttons in your app. You can link to tracks with audio, video, images, and chapter index markers, taking users to a specific place in a media file.

Once your app is complete, you upload it to the AppOmator Web site, where it is processed. At that point, you can pay to download it, then use your iPhone Developer Account to submit it to the App Store approval process. For a monthly fee, you also have the option to have AppOmator handle your end of the approval process for you.

AppOmator is expected to be released in early February. The app will be free to download, but there will be a charge to claim your finished iPhone app.
