Sync Market downloaded apps between devices

I searched the forums, but nothing really came up for this.
Is there a way that if I download apps from my Android Phone, that it will show on my Xoom in the Android Market as Not Installed?
I thought this was already happening between the 2 devices but lately the 2 are not showing each others apps.
Sometimes I download a few apps at once on my phone so that I dont forget to download them later on my Xoom. Then when I have a chance I can open my XOom and goto the Android Market and click on whats is not installed on my Xoom but is on my phone.
ive tried clearing the data and cahce of the market but no luck.

Thansk in advance

That's the way it's supposed to work (and does, for me). It might be a compatibility issue where the app is not certified to work on both devices or OS. I'[ve run across that more than once, and often it's not correct. Case in point, Zeam launcher is supposedly not compatible with Honeycomb, yet it works perfectly when I sideload it onto my tablet. I emailed the developer about it, but no repsonse (or change in the Market status). Go figure.
 
Bumping this to the top.
Not sure why I cant see what is in my market between devices.
It does look like I can see what is Not Installed on my Droid Pro that is on my Xoom, but I cant see whats Not installed on my Xoom from the Droid Pro.
 
Folks, my question relates, but, is a little off topic, yet, all searches have shown NO RESPONSE to various other members asking similar question to mine, therefore, this here:

I would like to sync the APPS (not the app data - that's dealt with easily by google or cloud services) across my devices. Own a phone, a note and a tablet, would like same apps on all. Anyone?
 
You can download to each from the device, or you can install from the Play Store website to each device in turn. If you then have automatic updates turned on you won't have to do any more.

If you want to uninstall an app, you must do it from each device in turn (or at least the devices you want to remove it from). You can't uninstall from the website.

I'm not aware of anything else you can do.

BTW there was no need to bump 3 old threads with the same question ;)
