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).
The question I'm asking is related but different:
"Which list of applications utilize the phone's accelerometer?" etc
I have successfully used the android-market-api to search for permissions which may imply certain features, but a direct search would be better.
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.
