If I had to guess, this is because Maps comes on the firmware and can be updated via the Market. They label it "Uninstall Updates" because removing the Market package would result in you still having the Maps app, just back to the firmware edition. > Is this functionality available to the rest of us devs? If you ship as part of phone firmware, presumably yes. For example, the device manufacturer might ship 1.0 of your app but tell you to push updates via the Market for 1.1, 1.1b, System 3000, Mark V, and 1.1c of your app. Note, though, that this is an educated guess, based on a few conversations, with only a passing resemblance to absolute assurance. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 2.8 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
