An anonymous reader writes "SkypeKit gives Linux developers access to core
functionality, allowing Linux developers to add video, calling and instant
messaging features to desktop applications. The SDK also comes with the
freshly royalty-free SILK codec for high-end audio. Skype is hoping that the
inclusion of SILK will popularize the codec, extending its reach. Currently,
the SkypeKit beta is only available for Linux on an invite-only basis, with
Windows and Mac versions planned in coming weeks. The SDK does not cover
Android or Mac, an odd choice considering the announcement of SkypeKit
championed itself for extending the functionality of Skype to multiple
platforms and devices. Including smartphones in the SDK seems like an
obvious move." Ars Technica has a rundown, too. Read more of this story at
