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 App store, Intel is also planning to join the club. Yes, you read it right. Intel is planning to come out with its App store for netbooks. In last few years a lot of avenues 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 broadened its App store to the global market), Android, and Nokia.  But even if Intel is out with their App store, it is not going to have 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 Brief Look Into the Intel App Store:

It seems, Intel is copying Apple. Like Apple, Intel too would give 70% of the total to the developers. And it App would be compatible with Intel’s Moblin or Win 7.

But will this App store {get Intel more sales?~So, the question is will Intel, like Apple, benefit from its App store}?

To say this with 100% surety would be misleading. But yes, Intel’s target audiences are different from Apple’s. And netbooks are totally a different thing.  For iPhone market, App stores maximize the sales. Also, with Google Chrome Operating System out in the market, a lot of applications would not really be of use.
So now we will have Apps effect all over, apart from lot of softwares.
