Mike - I think Apple's approach may be good for Apple, and probably
not that compatible with the openness of Android?
Also, what's better of Apple's approach other than that users don't
have to give their identity (email addresses etc) to individual
developers? If you suggest it here, we could definitely consider to
add it to the library if appropriate.
What's nice about Apple's approach here is that developers
don't have to do anything... it's a good way of improving the code
quality for *all* apps. I was pretty surprised and happy when it
came online a month or two ago because it confirmed that what
was crashing across our user base were known issues. Most of
the battle is getting *any* information about how the app is
behaving in the field, so the auto-crash reports are really nice.
I don't think there's an inherent conflict with Android's openness.
The crashes are anonymized, and developers and users do chose
to go through the Android Market -- which unlike Apple isn't the
only way to get apps.
I should say that I don't think of this as an either/or with what you're
doing though. Apple's just pulling up crash dumps, whereas what
you're doing is allowing big chunks of the log to be sent back. There's
room for both of these to exist at the same time.

I love this idea!
I'd like to build it into the source itself, that would be a life
saver.. lol
