Thanks to Apple and its iPhone App Store model, all of this might very soon become unnecessary, as companies are announcing similar app stores that cater to owners of devices other than mobile phones. First it was Samsung with its HDTV app store, and now Intel has unveiled AppUp, an app store for netbooks.
The store itself is a desktop app for Windows-based netbooks; you download it and install apps from there. Some of the apps currently offered are Newsy, Boxee and Yoono. On the developer side, you can download the SDK for creating apps for the store and build your own; Intel claims that the SDK has already been downloaded 2,500 times.
