Ok, thanks. Will the Market 1.0 have some public API so that another application can request to download a specific application through the Market, for example through a specific intent (e.g. ACTION_DOWNLOAD + URI_of_the_app_in_the_market or package_name, or something similar..)
So, for example a PresentPicker application could launch the Market through an intent to download a specific ShoppingList application if required? (Still the user would have to initiate the download, but would see the application immediately without searching for it).
