In order for the browser to recognize the .apk as an application, the
web-server must set the MIME type to "application/vnd.android.package-
archive" which may be a bit tricky if you don't control the server.
You also have to make sure that the setting "Unknown sources" is
checked in Application settings.
Another way of getting a .apk installed on your G1 if you have the SDK
installed and set up on your PC is to run "adb install
<filename>" (adb is in the tools directory of the SDK distribution).
