This would seem to be quite a way down the priority list, compared to other standards. 

https://code.google.com/p/android-serialport-api/wiki/android_to_rs232_guideline

Perhaps what we could do is first have an API audit for the standards we already have plugins for (clean up any drift that may have occurred), and then talk about a ranked list for potential new plugins (based on standards) that we don't already have.

+ 1 for supporting Serial Api, I will help with Windows platforms (already have core functionality implemented[1]). 

I've created a JS wrapper [2] around Lego EV3 Bluetooth transport protocol for Apache Cordova and  we will host NASA Space App Challenge competition[3]  here in Russia where students will use PhoneGap apps to control their robots.

Marcel: agree we need to audit the plugins vs current standards. Priority tends to sort itself out in the wash here as we see w/ David's comment. I'm finding the convergence of robotics and the web pretty interesting these days so I like the idea of giving the serial plugin love and would totally support making it 'core'.

I have been looking at a serial plugin for a personal project.
In my case I am looking at a chrome
api<https://developer.chrome.com/apps/serial>compatible version, which
is specifically for chatting with an Arduino
using USB. The Arduino incorporates the the FTDI or prolific usb-serial
interface, so its a bit like solution 2 in the link Marcel sent:
https://code.google.com/p/android-serialport-api/wiki/android_to_rs232_guideline

Not strictly related, but yet another standard...
