Could you please elaborate on this or link to a How-To tutorial or something, please? I will be developing some applications that would be for my specific uses (mostly work related, specific to my job) and I wouldn't want them to be for public use. It would be a lot easier to use the SDK tools to transfer and install the apps using the USB connection instead of throwing them on a web server just so that I can click on it. Thanks!
