Well, in my opinion it's an impossible task. If the software can be separated from the hardware and examined, you're sunk. The best you can do is to make the cost of breaking in far exceed the cost of the app itself. That shouldn't be hard to do for the average app, since they're so cheap.

I suppose that is true, and I should have mentioned that, but even at this point I feel like you'll still have the majority of people going to your app, is this accurate? Perhaps not, I don't sell my apps, so I'm unqualified and probably shouldn't be speaking on this point ;-).. Though you can get a copycat version of your app taken down fairly quickly, no? Though this still doesn't stop the pirate version of the apk from floating around on the web.
