Intel Atom™ Developer Program Million Dollar Development Fund
The netbook has become one of the most popular consumer devices in the market today, but its true potential has been limited by applications that are not optimized for its mobility and smaller screen size.
The Intel Atom Developer Program Million Dollar Development Fund is a fund set up by Intel to address this challenge and to help accelerate innovation in software applications for Intel? Atom™ processor-based products, starting with netbooks, and eventually supporting smartphones, consumer electronics and more devices.
The fund will be available to individual and student developers as well as small, medium and large software companies to support development of groundbreaking applications for the netbook platform. The first three elements of the development fund Fast Track 2010, Dollars for Downloads 2010 and the Intel Atom Developer Challenge are available now with more to be announced over the coming months.

WiTricity Technology: WiTricity power sources and capture devices are specially designed magnetic resonators that efficiently transfer power over large distances via the magnetic near-field. These proprietary source and device designs and the electronic systems that control them support efficient energy transfer over distances that are many times the size of the sources/devices themselves.
The WiTricity power source, left, is connected to AC power. The blue lines represent the magnetic near field induced by the power source. The yellow lines represent the flow of energy from the source to the WiTicity capture coil, which is shown powering a light bulb. Note that this diagram also shows how the magnetic field (blue lines) can wrap around a conductive obstacle between the power source and the capture device.
