What are your essential netbook apps?
Ajay Mungara over at the Intel Atom Developer Program is asking netbook users two fairly basic questions- “What applications would you like to see on your netbook?” and “What is your typical usage of a netbook?”
Why is he asking these questions you might ask?
According to Mungara, users are expecting “demanding applications related to entertainment, productivity, communications, and security without compromising on either performance or usability.” The problem is, your typical netbook usage model fits somewhere between a mobile phone and a full fledged notebook which means many of today’s applications are far too demanding for a netbook system.
Thus the best way around this is to modify or create key applications that users care about and optimize them for the Atom platform. Application optimizations often center around the following:
- The apps need to be usable on a small resolution displays
- They need to be fast performing on the Atom processor platform
- They should work well within memory constrained systems
- They should not occupy large amounts of disk space
Thus going back to the original question – what apps do you use frequently on your netbook? Let Intel know and who knows – maybe Intel or someone else out there will create and/or develop an Atom optimized version of the application.
