AOL is going to launch ‘Open AIM Phoneline Initiative’ to enable developers create new applications and tools to extend the functionality of the AIM Phoneline service.

AOL is going to introduce three APIs in the fall to help voice application developers and manufacturers:

– “˜Personalize the AIM Phoneline service

– Enable a wide variety of USB devices such as speakerphones and phone adapters

– Build new call management functionality into the AIM Phoneline service’.

“As part of the Open AIM Phoneline program, AOL will promote its partners’ applications and devices at an online store that users can assess by simply clicking the “˜Shop’ link off of the AIM Phoneline dashboard.” [source]

AOL is going to showcase some examples of APIs at next week’s Fall VON 2006 in Boston.
