C++ Developer on Ulitzer

Intel has put out its promised beta SDK for Windows (C and C++) and Moblin (C) developers working on future Atom-based netbook apps and ports.

It can be downloaded at http://appdeveloper.intel.com.

Intel couldn't help but repeat the forecast that netbook units shipped should top 50 million by the end of the year.

Intel said that with the beta SDK, developers can submit their applications for validation and, once validated, begin to take advantage of the program's revenue-generating opportunities in 2010 when an app store, pre-installed on netbooks, is supposed to launch. Like Apple, developers will get 70% of the money.

Intel is offering incentives for developers to begin submitting applications by offering a chance to win prizes including a smart car or a vacation.

Intel expects most applications will be written for Moblin. It also expects them to be very social.
