Dear all,
There seems to be other standardization bodies, especially W3C dealing with several Device APIs primarily to be accessed via
http://www.w3.org/2011/07/DeviceAPICharter
http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/
Since it is mostly for HTML5 and Web Applications, I am not sure, if it's of interest or HTML5/JavaScript are considered beside the other languages like C,Java or Lua, just wanted to mention it for now.
The focus both of the existing drafts (driven by e.g. Nokia) at W3C and an earlier study by the Open Ajax Alliance show, that these were so far intended to support traditional phone type handsets with device categories limited to simple examples like battery power, etc. Much like what Java Mobile Sensor API was created for.
More complex and versatile types of sensors and devices (you may have blood pressure in a Medical use case or Temperature inside a container for Logistic/Transport, just to name 2) are vaguely mentioned as "Generic Sensor API" but so far no work has been done there in the W3C WG.
