On the Echo page: "If you are interested in being part of a limited-participation beta ahead of the SDK's public release, please provide your contact information."
I don't see any problem here: RIGHT NOW they're not ready to show anything PUBLICLY (and to be bound to an unstable API for example) but when everything will be completly cooked, they'll make it public
The NDA is just a way to ensure that the API wont become a de-facto liability and wont be made public by good souls... ;)
- supergeek133 12y agoThe one thing that fellow big companies never get is that people find it anyway (see, Snapchat)
- halviti 12y agoI don't think they care so much about people finding it, as they do all of the people who will try to build their own businesses around the API and then try to sue when the API changes.
- supergeek133 12y agoThat's also true.
- chc 12y agoNot wanting people to depend on an unfinished version of the API makes sense, but an NDA as the mechanism for accomplishing this goal seems really strange. The idea that Amazon would be "bound" by API docs shared by early participants but will not be bound by the same API docs if early participants don't share them is weird.
