Thank you for the MIME type info, hackbod! This does not seem
documented anywhere in android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1/docs (I did a full
text search), but I deployed it right away. It is unfortunate though
that developers do not have access to a testing facility similar to
www.deviceanywhere.com for running their apps on physical Android
phones, because having to wait until after phones hit the market is
not ideal either, to say the least, and I suspect quite a few
developers would like to make good use of the wide interest associated
with the first shipping date of the T-Mobile G1.

Regards
