Shane,
Just so you know, there are so legitimate uses for that. For instance, I am programming an application for a company that will install it on all phones they give their employees, and they won't allow the employees to turn it off. I'm not planning to try to make it totally impossible to get rid of, but the company would like me to do that. I proposed that they simply monitor the input from it, and create a report on any employees that don't send updates over it. There are legitimate uses, but I have to say, I don't really like the idea either.

Is there an official way for doing this? An unofficial? If that's not possible exactly, perhaps it may be possible to: - remove/hide the application from the installed applications list - abort uninstall by throwing an error from some standard class - prevent uninstall of only some types/configurations of applications? - automatically force reinstall of uninstalled application? - invoke some class in the application before being uninstalled so that it can send SMS/access a web site to notify someone about this?
