Despite Nokia's MeeGo defection, there is a growing interest in the OS, Biddle said. Intel is also providing tools and helping developers port applications from Apple's App Store to work with Intel-based netbooks and tablets.

The initial tablets with Intel's first dedicated tablet chip, Oak Trail, started shipping late last month. In the future, Oak Trail tablets will be available with Google's Android 3.0 OS, code-named Honeycomb. Intel has no plans to put the AppUp store on Android to compete directly with the Android Market, Biddle said.

"It's starting to look like a crowded market," Biddle said.
