Is there any alternative "app store" where users can get applications without Apple's censorship?

I don't need Drivetrain in particular, but there seem to be many good app ideas that Apple does not like / approve.

Yes, I think you just have to jailbreak the iPhone

That, and Transmission's existing Web UI is actually incredibly slick on the iPhone: http://smokingapples.com/software/tutorials/managing-your-to...
