We've launched a new feature on our web site: a listing of mobile APIs that developers can use to expand the functionality and increase the quality of their apps. Like the other content on our site, it's community-based, which means you can add to it! If you offer an API for mobile developers, help spread the word about it by entering it there; developers can also leave comments and tips on listed APIs to help out others through their experiences.
