Was in an audience when Mark Benioff discussed Steve Jobs coming to him to acquire AppStore.com as Mark owned it at the time.

Apparently Mark and Steve discussed this concept very early on.

Just did a whois history search on the domain and it changed hands from SFDC -> Apple on 03/19/2009

That's over 2 years after the iPhone announcement in jan 2007 at Macworld.. about 1 year before the AppStore launched
