As mentioned before by many slashdotters the motes
(mica) have a huge resource constraint problem.
I have been working on motes for the past two years..The sound sensors are really really weak and inaccurate.
We have been trying to get accurate sound sensor readings for a long time. Say you are applying varying amplitude of sound near a mote. Though the readings changes, they are neither linear nor follow a consistent pattern..
anyway, there is a long way in terms of the OS design and sensors..
