It returns a unique string based on both
the android.provider.Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID and
the android.os.Build.PRODUCT along with a unique code for my app (just
incase I want to build another) I am pretty sure the issue stated above is
a result of not using the full android.provider.Setting.Secure.ANDROID_ID
and instead relying on just this: Secure.ANDROID_ID . This is probably why
it is returning NULL but I'm not positive. I do know that my analytics is
showing session both from the HTC Magic even labeled as the ION and the
Milestone along with quite a few others. Granted I'm not seeing alot of
traffic an the ION.
