At the recent International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) hosted in Las Vegas, Intel’s President and CEO Paul Otellini unveiled a beta version of Intel’s software application (app) store.

“The Intel AppUp Center offers netbook users quick and easy access to applications specifically tailored to their mobile lifestyle,” said Renee James, corporate vice president and general manager, Intel Software and Services Group. “Our store does the work of aggregating, categorizing and validating applications so consumers can shop, collect and install from one easy source. With today’s kickoff of our beta store, both developers and consumers will be able to take advantage of the rapid expansion of this new category of computing as the stores continually add apps.” The first apps are now available for immediate free download or purchase. These apps cover education, entertainment, games, health, social networking and other categories.”

A few of the sample apps mentioned during CES were Arnold Palmer Golf, Boxee, Wikihow and fring.

When introducing fring on Intel’s netbook James said: “fring is the kind of application that we’re thinking about when we think about what we want to do in netbooks.”

“The beta store will host applications for both the Microsoft Windows and the open source Moblin™-based operating systems, the first operating systems to target the popular netbook computer category powered by the Intel® Atom™ processor.”
