Appnr is a new web based tool where you can search and install applications directly on your Firefox within Ubuntu.

For other debian based distro, you will have to install apturl:
sudo apt-get install apturl
The navigation in Appnr is easy. On the left are the categories and the respective applications on the right. There is an “Install” button on every application entry and you just click on it to install the particular application.

The service works as you’d expect – set up your sync, access files anywhere, share your online items with anyone you choose. I can see this new service being a great revenue stream for Canonical but I cant see it leading the way at the moment.

There’s also now a version of Ubuntu designed to run on ARM processors, which means Ubuntu will be able to run on a number of upcoming netbooks and mobile internet devices built around chips that can’t run Windows.
