It's definitely intuitive for there to be a permission on the IMEI. I am 
not quibbling that point at all.

The problem is I'm porting something originally done on the iPhone, 
which has a UUID or something for each device independent of the IMEI 
(as I understand it) and definitely not requiring some special 
permission. Hence, the customer has...expectations.

I sure hope it's not a problem. That permission, unfortunately, also 
covers things like read access to the device's phone number. And, until 
I get my paws on a G1, I don't even really know what the user is going 
to see when the permission request is presented, unless there's a way to 
test that in the emulator that I'm not aware of.
