[android-developers] Re: android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER

That is what I was using also.   But Mark Murphy picked up an Archos 5 and found that it does not return a 16 byte hex number like described in the SDK.   This will no longer work for me if I can't expect the ID to be 16 bytes.  My previous post explains how I am going to use the ID along with other non-unique values in an attempt to create a unique ID.   I have to rewrite my backend also but that is pretty simple.
