Really? My understanding was that if it wasn't installed from the
Market, you cannot update it from there either.
I have not verified recently, but a while back (say a year or so) I
experienced that when my app was installed manually it would not
AUTOMATICALLY update from Market, but as long as it was signed with the
same key you could still manually request an update (this was a free app
- perhaps there are other restrictions on paid apps) and from then on
the automatic update would work.
I'm pretty sure this applies to the pre-installed GoogleMaps and GMail
apps too.
Obviously, I have no idea how the stats were collected, but since the
1.0 stats *ARE* there I'll have to assume it is true and that someone
forcefully has connected it to Market - after all we are talking
"pirate"-class users here so an "improved" firmware is reasonably likely.
