Mark: If I build my own app I definitely have access to Android ID, but my main question was if I did not use any app and went to www.cnn.com is there a way to pass ANDROID_ID to cnn.com? Basically all the apps even though they have their own sandboxes etc have the ability to log a unique device id common across all of them. The only exception is browser. Browser cannot get the device id. If there is a way then there is parity across all the apps and browser. Browser is also one kind of content App if you generalize it.
Thanks, Ravi.
