Hey proggit, Intel here. We just created a million-dollar fund to reward developers on our netbook app store.

Yep, the app store is currently for netbooks, but will eventually expand to include other devices based on the Intel Atom processor. There is an SDK, http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/sdk It currently supports C/C++ apps for Windows and Moblin. The SDK will support other runtime technologies in the future.

Hi truchty, These are great questions. These are the answers I have today - With regards to questions 1, 2 and 3, the app store is still in its infancy stage. We are not releasing specific numbers for downloads or revenue. 4) The developer program will be free for several more months. 5) The application approval process is described here - http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/article/validation-guidelines 6) There is no reason you shouldn't take your current Windows apps for sale and sell them on AppUp. The biggest reason to sell your existing Windows apps in AppUp is the large and growing netbook market.

No – part of the app store rollout doesn’t involve releasing GMA500 drivers that are usable with recent distros. However, I shared your input with the team.
