I have an app that I am planning on distributing outside the Market. So far I have found two ways to do it:
1. Send an e-mail with the APK file attached. User taps on the attachment and app installs. 2. User browses my website where he can download the APK file. Then in the browser, use Menu to go to Downloads, find file, and execute it. But it seems that there is a wide variety of browsers and e-mail clients in the various Android devices (phones and tablets). I find it difficult to give my customers instructions that are specific enough to do them any good, but still general enough to apply to all these different situations. I know things can also be done with a removable SD card and a file explorer on the device, but my old Droid requires that you remove the battery to get at the SD card. And some people don't have the ability to write to SD cards from their desktop computer, so I am not anxious to push that method of installing my app. Before you ask, I have my reasons for not using the Marketplace, so just ignore that route.
