I think it's pretty unlikely that the veecheck library could interfere.
The market is backed by a remote database of published applications, and (I
assume) a local database of previously installed applications. I guess that
the market will identify the availability of application updates by
comparing these two datasets.

This is quite independent from veecheck which polls and filters an XML
document obtained over HTTP - though its operation ultimately depends on
exactly how it's employed: it can be used to direct users to download the
latest version from the Android Market or from external sites (such as
andappstore). Even in this latter case, after a download from an external
site, subsequent updates can continue to be installed from the market (I can
confirm that this works for me).

At worst, I anticipate, a user may receive two notifications (or more if
updating apps are installed, eg. OIUpdate).

The situation for paid applications is of course uncertain at this point,
but I would expect that a paid application installed from the Android Market
will be restricted to updates originating from the market. But I can't see
any reason why veecheck couldn't be used to inform users of updates at the
market.

Having said that, I think it's almost certain that the Android Market will
evolve to provide a robust and effective update notification system for the
applications it hosts.
