So is there any plan for interop with non apple devices?

  No, because this is made by Panic, a company that only makes software for OS X and iOS.

  Is there anything close to standardized enough for non-Apple devices to implement this sort of functionality?

    Theoretically, there's no reason you couldn't write a similar app for Android devices which support BLE[1] to reimplement this functionality, but Panic have only ever written for Apple devices.

    There is a open source iBeacon library for Android: https://github.com/RadiusNetworks/android-ibeacon-service https://github.com/RadiusNetworks/android-ibeacon-service Decoding the iBeacon packets is quite easy, but you need a device that supports BLE. Currently there are only a handful of Android devices that support it.
