[android-developers] Analytics Tracking

Whilst trying to determine what is causing significant data on my
Android device I noticed the following packet in Wireshark.

http://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmwv=4.5ma&utmn=8572**408&utmt=event&utme=5(2.2.16*Startup*FIRST_STARTUP)8(1!Device)9(1!Nexus%20S%40samsung)11(1!2)&utmcs=UTF-8&utmsr=480x800&utmul=en-GB&utmac=UA-20****90-1&utmcc=__utma%3D999.1670970809.1315943979.13****43979.13159***79.1

I have starred out a few numbers in case they represent anything
private.
Anyway, the reason it came to my attention is the mention of
FIRST_STARTUP.

If Google is using this tracker to measure new device startups then I
am afraid it is flawed.
My device was started up several months ago.
Just thought I would bring it your attention.
