The problem there is, Google now has to vet and approve 3rd party markets. One day - that *will* bite them! "I think Google should add permission > in manifest.xml for installing apps." > There is a permission available already ( android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES), but Google wont list your app on Market if you use it..
