This is interesting, but I'm confused a bit here... For location information, how does this compare to the W3C spec? Which I'm hoping will soon be implemented on phone browsers.
http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html Is the OneAPI for use from normal websites, or more for use from mobile phone appliations (in Java, or whatever)? Can you give examples for each of the main capabilities of the API? charging - could a normal website, say, charge somebody asking it from a mobile phone to use a particular feature? messaging - can a website send an SMS from the user's phone if they are browsing from the phone? location - (presumably answered above) user context - what is this? When will it likely work on most GSM operators?
