Hi,

Continuity is one of the coolest feature I wait to get it working between iOS 8 devices and Mac Devices. But, to developers I wanted so ask ..

Is this feature going to be exclusive to apple made apps like iWork or Mail, etc..or do developers have api's to build apps that take advantage of the continuity feature(s).

Handoff has APIs in place that allow third-parties to bake it into their apps. :)

I truly believe this will make third party apps a whole lot better. Hopefully my productivity software, Daylite, will implement this technology.
