Hi,
After writing an IAppli that periodically
downloaded data from a server, I wanted to see how
often a user was actually using the IAppli and also
determine how many users were using it at one time,
etc. The problem I found was that every http request
from the IAppli came in on a different IP port making
tracking pretty difficult.
What I ended up doing was forcing the user to log
in before he/she downloaded the IAppli and then passed
this login name to the IAppli via the AppParam in the
jam file.
Some more details of what I did are here (it's
not beautiful code by any means):

I thought this trick might be useful for storing
down a user's preferences as well. As far as I know
you don't get any persistent storage on the phone but
you could store something down on a server and
retrieve it whenever the IAppli starts up.
