“Today, Skype is releasing an open software development
kit (SDK) for developers called SkypeKit which will allow Skype
calls, instant messaging, video chat and other features to be
integrated into consumer electronics and computers. For the past
few years, Skype has found its way into a variety of devices from
cordless phones and mobile phones to TVs through direct
partnerships with device manufacturers. But with SkypeKit, the SDK
is now available to all developers.“”The SDK is very similar to what we use internally,” says
general manager Jonathan Christensen. It goes much deeper than
Skype’s public API, which is more for accessories like
headphones.”
