Hi,
As I user as well as a developer I don't like the idea of linking apps
a particualar device.
My understanding is that applicatons I download are linked to my
Google account so if I change my phone (upgrade or replacement) once I
log back into the market I can re-download my free and paid for
Well then you won't like the market.I am almost positive (having went
through 3 phones) that the market is tied in someway to the handset not the
google account.As a developer I echo the idea of the original poster.
Since my upcoming app requires a unique ID to be able to play I would love
The Market is most definitely tied to the Account and not the Device.
I switch between devices all the time and am able to maintain my
purchased apps on each of those devices via the Market.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
RichardC, the idea is not so much to tie the app to a particular
device, as it is to confirm that the device signing up for an account
is the same one that purchased the app. Basically, what I am trying to
do is have my app transparently link the account signup (
I would love to be able to use the Google account to sell value-add
services, at the moment I can't think of a secure (not open to abuse)
way of doing this. I hope this is something Google would like to see
