liitle time ago Intel was in news for making the fastest Operating System, the LINUX based Moblin, which took only 2 seconds to boot leaving no room for sleep modes and hibernating modes. This time Intel is getting all the limelight for something which is still on its way for the users.
With everyone bringing out their own Application store, Intel too is contemplating to join the club. Yes, you read it right. Intel is planning to come out with its Application store for netbooks. In recent past a lot of players had prepared their own App store. In fact service providers too have gotten into preparing their own Application store, Vodafone is one of those. Others in the list are – BlackBerry, Acer, Orange, Windows Mobile, Samsung (it initially started out only in UK, and later extended its App store to the global market), Android, and Nokia. But even if Intel’s App Store is out, it is not going offer a big number of applications, not at least in near future. And definitely not like that of Apple App store which has around a billion applications for free download.
Take A Quick Look Into the Intel App Store:
It seems, Intel is emulating Apple. Like Apple, Intel will also give 70% of the total revenue to the developers. And Intel’s App would be compatible with Intel’s Moblin or Win 7.
fetch Intel more sales?~So, the question is will Intel, like Apple, have profit from its App store}?
To say this with 100% surety would be misguiding. But yes, Intel’s target audiences are different from Apple’s. And netbook is completely a different thing. For iPhone market, App stores help in more sales. Also, with Google Chrome OS out in the market, a lot of applications wouldn’t really be of use.
So now we will have Apps effect all over, apart from countless softwares.
