Application label not changing on device

I have been away from this forum for a while but am now getting back while I tweak my application. I have several versions of my app. I want them all to appear on my Toshiba Thrive. The several APKs are on my sd card which I then install to the device. I have a different label for each version but only 1 appears on the device. Each installation apparently overwrites the previous one although the label is unique. For example, the one I call 'eval' for the phone size has a big brother called eval10 for the 10" Thrive. When I install eval it appears, but when I install eval10, eval goes away. How can I prevent this so that all show at the same time. I'm sure it's pretty simple but not for me. Thanks for your help.

Do they have different PACKAGE NAMES?, you can have different labels, but if the package name is the same it will be overwritten.

e.g.

com.myapp.eval
com.myapp.eval10
com.myapp.eval20

etc, etc.

See, it was simple. NJDude, you are absolutely correct and I thank you very much. Those in question do have the same package names. I think I knew that at one time but had forgotten. Is there any disadvantage to having several package names for the same app?
