Intel's AppUp Center/Atom Developer Program
Intel's AppUp Center, a netbook application hub for developers on the Intel Atom platform, brings the App Store model to the chip giant's ecosystem with its Intel AppUp Center.

Currently, the site offers limited-time free registration, a developer catalog featuring ready-made components to speed development, and programs to help build and validate your apps for netbooks. Intel says that future plans include expansion to include apps for other devices based on the Intel Atom CPUs, including smartphones and TVs. Supported operating environments include Windows and Moblin.
