The new Amazon Fling service is worth checking out for sure, as it happens to be a cross-platform toolkit which has allowed mobile developers to churn out rich multi-screen experiences when it comes to the Amazon Fire TV. Right at its core, the Amazon Fling SDK will enable the sending of video, audio and images from iOS and Android mobile apps over to Amazon Fire TV, which would certainly make your second screen experience a whole lot richer.
Apart from doing so, developers are also able to leverage on two-way communication between Amazon Fire TV and mobile apps in order to be more engaging in nature. This new SDK has been specially designed to simplify the process of dealing with underlying network discovery and communication technologies, as there is a standardized method of communicating between the apps over a local network so that developers can focus on building new and unique user experiences.
Heck, developers who do not have an existing Amazon Fire TV app will be able to advantage of the SDK’s media playback capabilities as a default built-in receiver will be able to play these automatically. Definitely one of the fastest routes to leverage the power of Amazon’s service as well as the built in functionality of the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV stick.
