It mightn't be a good idea to have such tight coupling between data schema and API...

downvote without contributing to discussion? smooth.

They never registered the business name. The folks in charge at the (non-Apple) Healthkit should learn how to do business before having a whinge.
Move along, nothing to see here.

"It looks like no one ever registered the buisness [sic] name or trading name in Australia"
Move along - nothing to see here.

Hmm, I haven't had much issue with it, although the functionality is pretty bare bones, I don't use the capture widget thingy... no need to. I can create and transition (todo) items in my existing .org files, use the agenda, and that's about as complicated as I want to get on my phone.
For anything more, I use my laptop where I can take advantage of all the proper org-mode functionality.
It might come down to how you use org-mode, as well. I create a .org file for each client/project. If I'm using org-mode to write a document (beats markdown IMO), I'll create a separate file and store it in the client/project registry (my own mgt system, outside of org-mode scope but implemented with org-mode knowledge).
Having lots of relatively sparse but easily identifiable (and discoverable) .org files makes mobileorg quite usable, for me.
ps: I see you commented on org-mode elsewhere in this topic. I also make heavy use of a notepad (unlined paper please - you're not the boss of me!), but prefer pencil to pen. I have about 6 or so high quality pencils I keep on high rotation, nice and sharp courtesy of a burr sharpener.

Emacs (naturally), with org-mode[1]. ssh replication along with the mobile org-mode app on Android [2] meets all my needs.

It doesn't seem to handle vendor-specific prefixes (-webkit, -moz, etc). I suppose you could write your own mixins (plugins) to handle that, but still, a shame.

You'd best post the model number (found on the underside, near the hinge) - you can't just swap out Apple motherboards and expect everything to work, in my experience.
If the data's urgently required, you can probably grab a cheap [PS]ATA-to-usb adaptor and mount the volume on another machine running osx (or linux).
Good luck...
