Why? I admit to not being totally in tune with the whole OTA space, but when I read hackbod's initial contribution on this thread, my thought was "Damn! The Android team just simplified Mr. Isbell's life!". If an HTTP download is sufficient to trigger an app install, why isn't SlideME just an awesome mobile-friendly Web site serving as an apps directory (with integrated ecommerce and all that)? Why go through the headache of somehow getting people to install your client component? I'm probably just missing something... -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.2 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
