Dan Dascalescu commented on CB-6069:
------------------------------------

The [devicemotion API has been published since 
2011|http://www.w3.org/TR/orientation-event/].

I'm new to Cordova, so pardon my ignorance, but is there a reason why this 
plugin exposes {{navigator.accelerometer}},but not a {{devicemotion}} event?

I'm not the only one confused by this issue - even the author of a mobile 
browser shake detection plugin doesn't know what the deal is with Cordova -

> The W3C DeviceMotion event is used by most browsers nowadays to detect 
> acceleration: http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source-orientation.html
> As such, it is already pretty stable (although there are some minor fixes and 
> clarifications expected in the upcoming few months).
> It would be nice if the cordova accelerometer plugin would align with it.
