Someone mentioned HotSync ID.  That's what most people use, but sometimes
that can be blank when the user has never performed a HotSync operation. 
What I do in this case is prompt the user to enter a name that I store in
the preferences.

Another alternative is to supply your user with a serial number that you
generate and know is unique.

A third alternative is to generate a random number.  It may not be perfectly
unique but if you make it long enough, you can make it sufficiently unique.
