Chip maker's Scott Apeland on the firm's new AppUp store project, Meego and more.
According to some estimates there are around 50 app store options available to developers. But that doesn't stop new market entrants coming into the space – and even claiming their stores reduce some of the complexity.
Firmly in this camp is chip giant, Intel. In January the firm confirmed it was launching a developer programme and app storefront (called AppUp) to meet the need for apps that work on netbooks. Intel plans to offer the store as a white-label service for OEMs, who'll offer it with their own branding.
One month later, it teamed up with Nokia to create Meego, a hybrid of Intel's own Moblin OS and Nokia's Maemo. This platform will offer one Linux-based development ecosystem that will give developers one build across phones, netbooks and potentially tablets, e-readers, in-car and more.
ME met Scott Apeland, director of the developer network at Intel’s software division, to find out more.
