This way at this point already 4 languages are supported by AppUp:

  • English
  • French
  • German
  • Spanish

As I do have a lot of German apps, too, I’ll start to submit them to AppUp now. Obviously there won’t be much downloads of the German apps at the moment, because Intel needs to fill the store with apps first, before they can start to distribute the store to end customers. But I’m confident that when distributed there will be good download counts as for the English system then. ;-)

But what the heck is “MeeGo”?

MeeGoYes, I also did not hear about this operating system before. So let’s see what the MeeGo webpage itself tells us about this system:

The MeeGo project provides a Linux-based, open source software platform for the next generation of computing devices. The MeeGo software platform is designed to give developers the broadest range of device segments to target for their applications, including netbooks, handheld computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, smart TVs, tablets and more – all using a uniform set of APIs based on Qt. For consumers, MeeGo will offer innovative application experiences that they can take from device to device.

OK, so basically MeeGo is (yet) another platform for netbooks, tablets and other mobile devices. But Intel really is focussing on pushing this new platform and we’ll see how much success it will have at the end.

Anyway, I’ll try to port at least one of my apps to this new system – just to see how it works.

Did you tried MeeGo yourself already or even published an app for it?

Intel AppUp

Intel AppUp is an app store for netbooks and tablets. The user can directly download, install and – in case of paid apps – buy products from the AppUp app store.

But why Intel thinks it will be successful with yet another app store?

Of course, there won’t be many people that download the AppUp client software that is necessary to use the app store from the AppUp webpage. But in cooperation with Intel’s hardware partners the AppUp client will get pre-installed on many netbook and tablet devices. That’s the way Intel will spread this client to as many users as possible.

But why that’s interesting for me as a developer?

I’m always searching for a new distribution channel for my products and as it’s very easy to get an app into the AppUp store, I’ll just try that. ;-)

More about that and the validation process in another post.
