thanks for that, but inapp wont work for this. IMHO thats for games.

Since no marketing people have responded,
I am just going to put it on the market and see what happens.
The downside is that it will be a quick-and-crappy version
since I don't know if it will get prohibited somehow...

The android market is for selling software, not software and hardware. 

How would you handle special refunds? It seems that the best approach to 
your app would be to contact Google and see if they can give you a special 
android market contract or you can try to sell your app on a different 
market or on your own.

Might be best to sell the hardware on your own online store and
through other sites willing to sell it. Then release the app for free
and make it work only with the hardware.

You could also give each HW device a serial number and that number has
to be entered when starting the app to register it so it can be used.
NXP's online-only compiler for its mBed dev kit uses a similar
approach.

 I want to sell a companion piece of hardware with my app.

 in the terms.

 I need facts only please.
