Hello All,

My Android G1 developer phone was able to connect to a website, link
and install from an apk I put there to test downloading .apks and
Unknown Sources.  My Droid X2 wouldn't do that. I had to use an app
called AwesomeDrop to download and install it to the Droid X2. Once
installed the app ran fine on both Androids

My test url is http://thomasofneedham.com/android/source/   click on
vampireofneedhamC.apk  to test the download.  In order to keep things
the same for testing, it's the same app that's on Android Market.
I have no idea how the other operating systems treat unknown sources
apks

Best,
Tom B
