Intel Announces Netbook App Store

AppUp Apps are a huge fad right now. One could argue that an app store is just as important or even more important than a piece of hardware itself. Another fad going on right now is the netbook and mobile computing. And today at CES, Intel has decided to mash them together to create the AppUp Center.

The basic idea behind the AppUp center is to provide an app store for netbooks specifically. The apps in this store will contain both original apps and apps that are “netbookified” by catering to the netbook’s screen size and what you would consider the limitations of a netbook.

The first round of apps for the AppUp center have already been released in the store that is currently available on Windows. Acer, ASUS, Dell and Samsung have all been in talks with Intel in collaborating with the project, which I assume, will mean that all netbooks sold will include the AppUp center pre-installed.

If this happens, developers will have quite an audience considering the millions of Intel-processor based netbooks sold in the past year.

You can go ahead and check out the AppUp beta that is currently available on Windows.
