I disagree. I see this as being somewhat analogous to the Netflix/Roku model.
Roku was the first to release Netflix watchnow device, but Netflix is pushing their platform to anybody who is willing to integrate it.
I see Skiff doing the same sort of thing except they are both focused on the device (ala Roku) and content (ala Netflix).
