Intel Launches Application Centre for Mini Laptops
Mon, 18 Jan 2010
Mini laptop users will now be able to download applications to their netbooks after Intel launched their Intel AppUp Centre. Although only the beta version has been released so far, users will be able to log on to a website and download a number of free applications, including Boxee, Newsy and Yoono Desktop . The applications are reminiscent of those available to download on portable handheld devices and mobile phones such a Blackberry or an iPhone .

Netbooks have soared in popularity over the past 24 months, and Renee James, corporate vice president and general manager of the Intel software and services group, said that the new Intel AppUp centre will further enhance the mobile lifestyle of netbook users. The application centre is expected to prove a success, as consumers have already demonstrated a preference for affordability and portability, with many neglecting notebooks and desktop PCs in favour of a smaller netbook PC .

So far, Acer, Asus, Dell and Samsung have confirmed they will be cooperating with Intel on the project.
