Openfeint co-founder announces OpenKit, new open platform for mobile developers

Former Crowdstar CEO and OpenFeint Co-Founder Peter Relan today announced OpenKit, a new open API service designed for mobile developers that guarantees no lock-in of developer data. The platform will also include cloud-based features like leaderboards and achievements.

As opposed to OpenFeint, OpenKit isn’t designed to be a user network. Instead, developers can implement user data with the platform’s source code in order to host their own service. OpenKit will also allow include authorization services for user networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Apple’s GameCenter.
