Wants to drive new app development on Windows and Moblin

Intel has released the first beta of the software developers kit (SDK) for the Atom platform.

The SDK covers Atom use in Windows (C and C++) and Intel's own open source Moblin platform. The company is now reviewing applications for validsation and developers will be able to start charging for them next year.

"Consumer adoption of mobile computing and Atom-based netbooks is growing rapidly, and there is an immediate opportunity for developers to capitalize on the popularity of these small form-factor, on-the-go devices," said Renee James, corporate vice president and general manager of Intel's Software and Services Group.

"We are excited about the innovation and energy from developers around creating applications and unlocking new uses for Atom platforms."

The company promised to release the SDK at this year's Intel Developer Forum (IDF) and developers will be able to market the applications they develop via Intel for a $99 fee.

Frequent submitters will earn reputation points on the program that allow access to a group dubbed 'Black Belts', giving them access to more programming tools and earlier releases of new code.
