Yep. Platform-api is intended to abstract away low-level platform differences. For example, on UbuntuTouch the "platform" APIs (which are for things like sensors, gps, alarms) are backed by code that may be running on the android side, and pass via libhybris. On desktop, those APIs are usually backed by more typical daemons and kernel interfaces. We didn't want developers to care about those details, and ease convergence. -G
