TAIPEI, TAIWAN: Insyde Software, a leading provider of UEFI-based BIOS for the mobile computing industry, announced the official opening of Insyde Market, a first-of-its-kind applications store designed exclusively for netbook computer users running Google’s Android operating system.
Google’s Android, originally designed for mobile phones is now being used as an “instant-on” environment for netbook computers.
Insyde Market is an online application store that provides Android applications validated for netbook computers. Other markets offer Android applications for mobile phones, but no other market is providing Android apps specifically for personal computers.
The Insyde Market is being launched to support netbooks that run Google’s Android. Earlier this month, Acer released versions of their hugely successful “Aspire One” netbook with a dual-boot configuration supporting both Microsoft Windows and Android.
Android provides the instant-on environment for quick access to the internet, and will run the many applications that can be downloaded from the Market. It’s expected that other notebook and netbook makers will offer Android-based products as well.
“Over the coming months, a wide range of applications will become available,” said Jonathan Joseph EVP at Insyde Software. “This will help to fulfill the promise of simplicity, openness, and limitless possibilities of Android on netbooks that smart-phone users enjoy today,” added Joseph.
