Is it possible to query the android market to find apps with given hardware features?
<p>I know that it is possible to do this for permissions (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7486413/can-i-query-the-android-market-to-return-apps-with-specific-permissions) and more generally (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4557300/finding-a-list-of-all-the-android-apps-on-the-market).</p>

<p>The question I'm asking is related but different:</p>

<p><em><strong>"Which list of applications utilize the phone's accelerometer?"</em></strong>  etc</p>

<p>I have successfully used the android-market-api to search for permissions which may imply certain features, but a direct search would be better.</p>

<p>As an aside, I'd be interested to know if anyone has insight into what Google's market justification is for locking down the android market.</p>
