App Up Store...

[DoubleDutch]

Has anyone tried the Intel App Up Store yet? If so, how easy was it to use the SDK with PureBasic?

see: http://www.appup.com/applications/index

Hmm, here's something that doesn't require a sdk or client software installed on your computer, download.com. No need to make things harder then what they are. Unless I'm over-looking something that this "App Up Store" offers that I don't see right now?

It's pre-installed on a lot of netbooks. Kinda like Intels answer to Apple's App store - but for Windows PCs. Looks pretty good (if it takes off).

Oh I see. I guess if it's already pre-installed, that's one thing. But having to download a program just to download other programs sounds kind of silly. But maybe it will do well.

They do all of the sales transaction, etc... same exchange as the Apple App store - they keep 30%, you get 70%. They market your app, etc... It's not exclusive - it is just one more way of promoting your programs.

They have an API so you can have subscription services, etc - just wondered if anyone had used it yet?

30% is kind of high but if the store becomes as popular as the Apple version, it could be worth it. It looks as they are waiving the $99 annual fee right now. Worth looking into.

I thought 30% is a good price - same as Apples and others that seem to be popping up.
