There were some discussion on this. The common way is to set an alarm upon getting the SyncNotify launch code. Maybe it makes sense for the application that is only installed by beam, never by hotsync. My app "self-destructing message" is one example.
I don't see a way from the application's point of view that it can tell the difference of being beamed or being installed. It might be possible to detect if the current UI app is the hotsync and then do things differently based on that. Max --- "Mark A.
