CES 2010: Yoono a Featured Launch Partner in Intel’s AppUp Store!

In case you didn’t hear the news (how could you have missed it amongst all the CES announcements last week??!), Yoono was honored to be a launch partner in the Intel AppUp app store for netbooks! You can read the official Intel press release here. As part of the Intel Atom Developer’s Program, we were excited to be approached by Intel about making our app work for the AppUp store and of course even more excited to be selected from hundreds of applications to be a launch partner at CES. Yoono was mentioned during Paul Otellini’s CES Keynote on Thursday and was featured in the Intel booth at CES. The AppUp store launch was picked up by major press outlets such as the New York Times as well as the Tech Blogs such as VentureBeat, Engadget and Mashable, among others. Look for more announcements about the AppUp store from Intel in the coming months.

For Yoono, the Intel AppUp store is a great new distribution channel that allows us to reach the large and rapidly growing netbook user base with our all-in-on social media app. The support from the Intel team has been amazing and we consider ourselves very lucky to be one of a handful featured apps (and one of only 2 mentioned in the keynote!). We think Yoono’s slim form factor and resource usage make it a great fit for the netbook platform – if you have a netbook, check it out!

Here are a few pictures, a short video clip taken by our very own Regan Fletcher during the keynote, and Regan on Yoono joining the Intel Atom Developers Program:
