Intel’s Netbook App Store Goes Up, Finally!

With so many netbooks around, isn’t it just about time that a netbook app store be created? I mean, the potential of netbooks can be fully realized if users install and download free applications and actually use them, right?

That’s what probably came into the minds of the Intel folks, as they just launched the Intel AppUp Center for netbooks.

It’s a pretty clever idea actually. The iTunes App Store is a huge success, so who knows it might make wonders for Intel.

Developers can also access a part of the site made specifically for them and for netbook manufacturers.

So, if you’re fond of downloading and installing applications on your netbooks, now you can find them in one repository – at the Intel AppUp Center.  There are quite a number of apps already available for download, including Boxee and Yoono. Have fun!

    I am running a small company that develops for netbooks on the Intel AppUP Center, and I think that this App Store is a great idea.

    The first app that we developed allows users to make any application full screen (among other features). It is called ScreenSpace: http://www.dandeware.com/products/. We also have a freeware version, called ScreenSpace Lite.

    If anyone has any feedback about ScreenSpace, we'd be happy to hear it.

    Thanks,
