Opinions / Experiences with Intel AppUp

Hello.

Has anybody had a good look at Intel’s new AppUp platform? From what I can gather it’s an Appstore clone platform that will come bundled with future Laptops.

Problem is I can only get info from the endorsed sites. It’s all heavily market-image maintained and I have no idea if this is a thing that is going to last and become a decent opportunity or sink into obscurity in 6 months when only 1 range of laptops come bundled with it.

There is a small thread about a wrapper for Unity here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/42516-AppUp-with-Unity?highlight=intel+appup

Really would like some opinions from people more knowledgeable about the area then I. Apple’s app store seemed like a goldrush scenario:

Early adopters getting all the attention and massive rewards with sub-par releases.
Quality titles get released and surface quickly with success
Massive amount of sub-par releases increase the noise ratio lack of filtering = bloated mess

Think this will happen again to a lesser degree?

Hello SkipKickCrash

We have a few games on the store generating a small revenue. Right now it is not much, but our bet is that Intel will be able to generate enough audience to attract more developers and quality applications.

When they started one year ago it was not that obvious, but today they have a solid marketplace and big partners backing it up.
