It allows developers to know how many users (phones) they have. But this permission will also let us know if you are receiving a call or not to react in consequence (if it is a music application: reduce the volume), and things like that.

It is a read-only property, so no reason not to include it. http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/24519/looking-for-android-permission-details Mark Comments This link has a pretty decent explanation.
