Skype released the Skype API for Linux today.

This is exciting for the Linux community, but it should be for device makers and users too. This new capability will open up a whole family of new, useful Skype Products like this. This new embedded market was highlighted by Skype CEO Niklas Zennstrom, during his keynote address at the VON Canada Event in Toronto earlier this week.

are there any differences between the Skype APIs as spec'd -- or implemented -- for Windows, Linux, or the Macintosh?

Posted by: Roland Tanglao at April 24, 2005 7:26 PM

this is dumb
there is no reason not to have the same APIs for all 3 platforms: follow the flickr example of offering SOAP, XML-RPC and REST

i know the 3 platforms have different executables but there's no reason not to at least have a core set of APIs that are the same on all 3 platforms

Skype, please fix!
