No reason, unless "haven't implemented" is a good reason :P There's a "Power" section under System Info W3C DAP spec (http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/system-info/#power) but the side note on that spec says "Will likely need to be vastly reworked" and hasn't been touched since March.
Another option is to use the generic Sensor API spec (http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/system-info/Sensors.html) but that is also an event-based API. We could also just go ahead and implement our own, a la accelerometer/location, I.e. getCurrentBattery, watchBattery, etc. On 12-01-09 2:01 PM, "Ray Camden" <rayca...@adobe.com> wrote: >That is cool.
