Good idea. just curious, why do you copy-protect the app?  It seems pointless
as after the sync notify it will remove the copy protection anyway.  Is this
just a catch all?
There are other ways to get an app to a device -- putting it on a SD card and copying it over using a utility like Filez, for example. Its just a backup -- if you've got Filez, the CP bit won't prevent beaming anyway.
