Abstract
A system and method for tracking and managing applications and content between a wireless device and a service. For example, in one embodiment, an 'uninstalled' field is used within records on a client device and identifying, whether each application on the client is installed or whether the application has been uninstalled. A corresponding set of records are provided on the data service for each individual client device, including the 'uninstalled' field. When an application is uninstalled on any client device, the corresponding record for that client device is updated on the service so that the service and the wireless device remain in synch.
