ANDROID_ID is definitely more than
Given that people are rooting phones and producing their own custom
platform builds I cannot see how any field can be relied on to be
unique across all devices.

Good point. ANDROID_ID is stored in a SQLite database IIRC, so you do
not even need to replace the firmware to hack
Sorry Mark I misread your earlier post. I don't know where I got a number
from ;-)

wow replying to myself... So as I was reading other posts here I came
across an idea. We (well I am) are talking about the ANDROID_ID as if it
were a MAC. I haven't looked but if the phone supports Wi-Fi wouldn't it

Copious isn't the word I'd use. ;-)
I'll try to look into it this coming weekend, when I do more
