Hi, As I user as well as a developer I don't like the idea of linking apps a particualar device.
My understanding is that applicatons I download are linked to my Google account so if I change my phone (upgrade or replacement) once I log back into the market I can re-download my free and paid for programs. I would be most upset to find that an application I had legally bought would not install onto a replacement phone and required me to purchase it again. Just my thoughts, regards -- RichardC On Oct 26, 3:35 pm, knavewave <[email protected]> wrote: > I am preparing to deploy a service based (account info / functionality > provided via my server) app via the standard android market / google > checkout approach, and am curious to see if anyone has had success or > can propose suggestions on how to associate market purchases with > individual devices. > > The only definitive solution I can come up with is to integrate with > checkout's order notification API, and have some sort of 'secret' sent > back to the purchaser's email address. > > This, of course, is the sort of thing that is really annoying from the > user's perspective.
