OpenFeint Connect social gaming APIs for multiple gamers across platforms

Here's a social gaming network that connects gamers across platforms! OpenFeint has announced the private beta launch of OpenFeint Connect, a set of social gaming APIs for game developers. OpenFeint Connect makes it possible for developers to release games on every app store for every device, and take OpenFeint game data everywhere.

OpenFeint Connect gives developers access to many of the most important features on the platform, without having to use an OpenFeint-built client. With the following features, game developers can rapidly expand to new platforms and let players compete across different devices:
+ Leaderboards & achievements: Great for encouraging cross platform social competition.
+ OpenFeint accounts: Perfect for players who want to play games on multiple devices, whether an iPad or a Palm Pre 3.
+ OpenFeint friends: Make it easier for your players to find new friends, regardless of whether they’re Windows Phone 7 or Android fans.
+ Developer announcements: Talk directly with your players to keep them engaged and up-to-date on the latest developments.

OpenFeint is rapidly expanding the reach of its platform as it continues to experience strong user growth. With over 65 million users and over 4,700 games, OpenFeint is the largest mobile social gaming network.
