This issue should be replicated in phonegap-android and phonegap-blackberry-webworks as well.

Yeah, I've been digging deeper and deeper and the callback from any fo the capture methods just return an array of MediaFiles.

I propose the following:

The W3C states that instead of an array the files should be returned in a FileList object, each file itself should inherit from a Blob which has direct access to the filesystem through the browser. I should be able to append the image I get back from a capture to a XHR-2 request, currently that is not the case.

In short, whatever represents the captures media file should be 100% compatible with the W3C File object.

@shazron is there a better way to discuss this issue than opening individual issues in each Phonegap type? I would prefer to keep the discuss in one place. (I just happen to be doing iOS stuff, only reason I opened it here)

I'm afraid filing duplicate issues will have to do for now, so we can track the issues as "todos" for each. For discussion, you could paste a link to the iOS one and suggest that the discussion should be there.

> Phonegap's MediaFile object should be compatible with the W3C's Blob object: http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#file
> This would allow us to make use of the new XHR-2 functionality available to us with iOS 4.2 to asynchronously send files via Ajax.
