How about tablets such as the Archos 5? I would imagine most Archos 5 owners also have an Android smartphone. I know for a fact that some of my users run my paid app on their Archos device even though my paid app is only available via the Android Market. So, as soon as those users try to use an LVL-ified update, it won't work. Its only a matter of time before one such user leaves a one-star rating about "DRM" and that will severely affect sales :( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
