Implementation in Win8 environment should be relatively straight forward; while in iOS, some work around may be necessary. With my current resource, i focused on Android implementation right now. Yes it is a framework/runtime exposing APIs to allow others write connected mobile apps (over multiple devices). It consists of three layers: device connection, group communication and remote activity startup. At my github site, there are some sample apps, such as Chat - for a group of peers to chat together, and a cube-rotation OpenGL app - for a group of peers to rotate a cube together. Also as testing case, on top of the runtime i developed a media sharing app for a group of devices to share media files (pic, video, word/pdf, web links, etc) among a group of devices, which is published at Google play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xconns.free.peerdevicenet).
