In regards to #2, check out how Smart Guard is implementing on Android. Their model on BB has been PIN based as normal but in Android they are using a unique device ID of some type to tie the registration to the device only. If they get it right, it might be a path for others to follow.
With that said, I'm not a big fan of locking apps to a device. At least not without a clear path to move it from say a dead device to a replacement. Crackberry store handles this quite nice as I'm sure other places.
Anyway the idea exists. SmrtGuard :: Your Smartphone Guardian? I believe is the website to pull a demo as they are in beta for Android. Used it on my BB since it was Beta there and have been paying the monthly on the app since it came out of beta. Just that handy![]()
I kinda assumed that that would already be the case with the Android apps. I think that would be a smart way for the programers to prevent the theft of their products.
I lie to you not. When my fiance and I where first looking into the Droid the VZW rep actually told me you could find the apps on torrent sites! I was a little shocked that he would tell a customer that lol!
