Unfortunately, it is implemented in a haphazard way by the Market. When you open the app, it does not trigger something on the Market to look for an update. Unless you specifically open the Market, go to My Downloads, and look if any apps have updates, you don't really know if there is an update. The notifications put forth by the Market are a joke. If anyone has seen any sort of consistency as to when it checks for updates, I would be very surprised. I will often open the Market and see 4 or 5 apps with updates, and think to myself... Hmm, I wonder why I wasn't notified.That being said, there are a number of apps out there that "phone home" and look for an update. I assume this is done by housing a version file or something on a server and having the application check this on start up, if the version of the installed app is lower than the latest version, it notifies you and allows you to go to the Market for the update.
