Intel Atom Developer program @ WIPJam

We are pleased to introduce our guest blogger this week.  Maryann Iannitti is the Manager, Intel Developer & University Marketing at Intel.  Intel is a lead sponsor of our WIPJam Session coming up on March 22, 2010 at CTIA Wireless.

Meet the Intel Atom Developer Program team @ WIP JAM CTIA Wireless 2010

The Intel Atom developer program has been designed to provide you with everything you need to develop and sell netbook applications. So, the question I get most often from developers is why netbooks? The netbook market is growing fast at 35 million in 2009 to 139 million in 2013*. Now more than ever, there is a rising demand for applications that have been designed for the netbook form factor and for the mobile, on the go audience. This new program is designed to address this very challenge and to provide you with the support you need to build and sell these applications. The program also provides OEMs and the ecosystem a framework to deliver great new applications directly to consumers. It creates a whole new revenue channel for you. The way it works is that developers set the price for their applications and will receive up to 70% of the revenue from every sale from every store. Infrastructure operational expenses and partner revenue will be covered from the remaining portion. The program also provides a simple, transparent validation process to ensure a smooth validation process.

Components and the developer catalog: Our program also provides a developer catalog with a list of components available to help accelerate your development and to implement useful and innovative functionality. Each component includes its own API and documentation. When a developer uses your component in their application, you can receive a portion of their application revenue. In addition, having a catalog of reusable components helps speed up application development process and also provides component developers with a way to make money.

The Intel® Atom™ Developer Program Software Development Kit (SDK): All applications submitted to the program must use the the beta version of the Intel® Atom™ Developer Program SDK to take advantage of the program’s revenue opportunities. The SDK provides many developer benefits including authorization, crash reporting, and a consumer store client emulator for testing.

Still looking for more reasons to join the program? How about a million? We launched a new development fund just for you. The Intel Atom Developer Program Million Dollar Development Fund is a fund to help accelerate innovation in software applications for Intel® Atom™ processor-based products, starting with netbooks, and eventually supporting smartphones, consumer electronics and more devices.   Join at http://appdeveloper.intel.com

Come meet me and the Intel Atom Developer Program team at WIPJam on March 22 at CTIA Wireless 2010. Join us for an open discussion on the next stage of mobile development. We’ll walk through evolution of the mobile phone, new emerging usage models from an always connected, on-the-go consumer. We’ll look at a range of devices from ipads, medical devices, and various m2m opportunities as well as developing software for these opportunities. We’ll see you there!
