Moving free android apps between google account

Now I know it is not possible to move paid apps between accounts but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to move FREE apps from one google account to another without having to uninstall, switch account and then reinstall.

Ideas?

Are you rooted? Titanium backup?

Yeah I am. Just a case of backing up, switching account and restoring?

Wont the restore put them back on the original account though?

Found a workaround.... I just "install" them from the web market. It tries and fails to download them on the device as they already exist but adds them to my new account anyways

TB would be SO much faster than that (depending on how many apps of course)... It wouldn't restore them to the original account as you wouldn't be logged into that account...

It will only restore to the account that's active (AFAIK)

appbrain would do it for you.
