At first thought it seemed as if it makes sense and a few minutes into the news that Intel is preparing its own App Store for netbooks, it seems as if the iPhone App Store success has influenced the tech industry way too badly. While many players are working on their own OS and almost everyone from Acer to Samsung are jumping on the app market. Service providers like Vodafone have also jumped on this wagon. So is the apps model so strong that it would rule netbooks awell? Does it add value? aren’t there enough free Google apps that are browser based? and isn’t the FREE Chromium OS already in works?
Intel is looking at the same business model that Apple does for the AppStore, passing on 70% of the revenues to the developers. The apps would be compatible with Intel’s upcoming OS Moblin and/or Windows 7. In my opinion the iPhone targets the power users and will continue to see the App Store boom, but netbooks is a different segment altogether. There may be some traction with this, but don’t expect this to be a billion downloads App Store anytime soon
