What do you have planned over the holiday break next month? In your free time, how about coding a small app and then entering it for a chance to win a netbook? If that sounds interesting, head over to our Intel Atom Developer Challenge to learn more. Create a netbook application to submit to the challenge and if you are one of the [...]
So you've heard of the Intel® Atom™ Developer Program. As a game developer you may be wondering, "What’s the opportunity?” or “Why bother developing for Atom, won’t many of the same casual games created for a PC work fine on a Netbook?” To get answers I think you have to think outside “typical” PC gaming [...]
Trying to work out how a mobile application developer thinks is becoming quite the hot topic these days. In the last 2 years the business of writing mobile applications from niche to normal and we’re at the stage now where not only the mobile platform is important; not only the operating system is important but [...]
As the Atom processor makes its way into Netbooks, MIDs and handhelds next year, casual gaming is an opportunity for many software developers to explore developing new games on Intel Architecture. We should see games designed specifically for the hardware such as smaller screen sizes on Netbooks. However I think we may also [...]
With the Intel(R) Embedded Software Development Tool Suite 2.1.008 update release from early November Intel started supporting the Macraigor Systems* usb2Demon device (check out their website at http://www.macraigor.com/intel/). This low cost JTAG system debug device supporting the Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor z5xx and N2xx platforms for embedded and custom platform operating system and software stack [...]
I have entered the world of Moblin with my Asus Eee 1005HA netbook, and I am loving it so far! I've been move productive on the go this week and I am having a lot of fun doing it!
Divorce, it happens. How do you manage divorce with Facebook and so many other connections in life? What if you keep finding out things you would rather not know via social networking sites? A simple example, my ex and her family are visible to me through our common children on Facebook. Honestly I would rather [...]
Christian Cantrell at Adobe just outlined some of the new features in Adobe AIR 2.0. Wow! There are some really exciting things that you'll be able to do. I found the following particularly interesting: Storage: Previous versions of AIR provided very little meta info about the host device's storage capability. AIR 2.0 allows developers not only to [...]
So everyone is asking ... just what is the big deal with netbooks these days? I used to be in that camp too before I got my new Toshiba mini netbook. I always just used to think "So what, it's a little PC." and "Why would I want one of these? I already have a laptop." Well I will tell you, I've been thrown for a loop with my new little netbook -- and that doesn't happen very often because I am a gadget freak and have new hardware passing through my hands all the time.
We have only 24 hours left until the General Availability (GA) of Windows 7 and so tomorrow Windows 7 will be in the hands of consumers for the first time. With the release of Windows 7, along with the release of some awesome new processors from Intel, it was time for a new personal notebook and also for a companion netbook [...]

Developers typically ask me what is so different about applications for netbooks? My response to them is, netbooks, as compared to a traditional laptop, have limited hard disk space, less processing power, lower memory and limited UI/screen display. Your application needs to fit with the typical usage model of a netbook. Let me explain.
The usage models for netbooks fits right in between a mobile phone and a laptop. Users are demanding applications related to entertainment, productivity, communications and security without compromising on either performance or usability.
Wow! I’m still counting the number of technical press articles, blog posts, forum posts, and tweets we've received since announcing the Intel Atom Developer Program at IDF on Sept. 22 in Paul Otellini's keynote. The Intel Software Network Article, "New Opportunities for Software Developers" went live during Renee James 9/23 keynote which featured a [...]
