Intel AppUp resource

I am thinking of adding a resource detailing the engine modifications needed to pass Intel Atom Developer validation. If you are interested, let me know here.

My thoughts on AppUp,
well it's still early in the game, but considering that ASUS and other manufacturers are going to ship the Appup client with every netbook they sell, and they're predicting phenomenal growth over the next few years... That sounds good to me. :-)
From a developer's point of view, the submission process is a little rough. My first submission took 3 tries (but that was at the very beginning, before the Appup client was available, and there was virtually no documentation).
In the blog, I outlined a bit more of the pitfalls that can occur when submitting an app to the Intel AppUp Store.
On a side note, is Torque sending a representative to The Intel Appup Elements conference? I asked on the blog, but so far no one answered... I would have liked to have met some fellow Torque developers. :-)

The integration only takes a few minutes: basically you need to incorporate stl_fix, and change a few lines of code to make sure T2D can load from a remote directory. My thoughts on AppUp,

@Alain - We've had many discussions with Intel about the store, but our NDA makes it hard for me to comment with out asking them first.

Your NDA sounds a lot more binding than mine. ;-)

I submitted an update of KartToon Rally to the AppUp store. I'm now waiting for it to pass validation before posting the resource. This way I'll be sure that I did not forget any steps.
