Mark is correct about not being able to stop applications from being installed without modifying the firmware.

I think the best you could do without your own platform is to install an app that occasionally looks through the installed packages (PackageManager) and alerts the user or manager about non-approved applications.

Hey Mark!

The last thing I want to do is to change the firmware, but do you know
if there is an Android's framework component that the applications
asks for permission clearance  prior to\during executing? Which I
might wrap for this purpose?
Do you familiar with someone who tried to alter the security framework
of Android?

I just saw MobileDefense demo and they have some kind of security
control (they are require a reboot)...

Is there a way to it? (Without rooting the device)
AFAIK, that can only be done by modifying the firmware.
