What do you mean by "Android's lack of friendliness to third party
applications (unless they come through the Market)"?
I mean that anyone can develop for the android, but if you actually want
to install something on the actual phone, you are up to the mercy of
whoever sold it to you (unless you root it, of course, in which case
even the iPhone is open).
I am not sure what is required to be able to do "adb install" from a PC,
but it certainly requires that adb be running, possibly also requires
root. Without that, if it's not in the Market (approved by Google,
pending a yearly fee), it doesn't exist.
