[android-developers] Re: Should I buy my own apps?

I had always believed that not being able to download my own app was a
bug. Now it looks like a much bigger bug, as it affects everybody.

The problem I have is that how does it know that my phone is the
developer's phone? Because I am using the same credit card number as
my developer account, or some co-incidence of email addresses? If so,
this can be easily bypassed by using a different credit card number or
email address for purchases, which many people would do anyway.

If the restriction is this ridiculously easy to bypass, why have it at
all? It seems completely un-enforceable, and provides no benefit when
it is enforced.

Still looks like a bug to me.
