How do i have a logged in Google account on Android to use C2DM

Google says you need a logged in Google account on android to use C2DM.

Google User Account: http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/#arch

But at the Same time you dont actually need to register that account, you only have to register RegistrationID with C2DM server. So i am confused why they need Gmail account.

i have read somewhere that there is one Gmail account associated with each Android device. So despite that default account do i need to create separate account for each device ?.
is not this default account always logged in on the Android ?

Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance every one

You need one account for C2DM registration as a developer. This is most likely an account of type [email protected]. This is to track your API usage, quota etc.

The user (owner of the phone) has to be logged in from his/her Google account on the phone. Thats is all. You don't need to create any account for the user on the phone.
