Er I was referring to helping protect apps against piracy. :} And as far as supporting devices that don't have the market app... really? You want to do that? Support your app running on devices that haven't passed CTS, have no limits on hardware (such as screen sizes), and do who knows what when your application calls its APIs? Anyway, we are pretty focused around Market for app delivery, and Market is playing an increasing role in helping developers with that by doing things like filtering apps to compatible devices and much much more in the future. Cutting out Market would most likely result in a pretty poor experience for both users and developers. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
