Shawn,
The question I have (not owning an Android device myself), is if we post
an apk at our web site, will the average Android owner be able to
install it?
Do we need to point them to apkInstaller? Is it reasonable to require
them to hook their Android device to their computer in order to transfer
the apk to their sd card? Or is it even easier for them to navigate to
our web site via their Android device browser, click a link, and then
basically have the apk installed?
Thanks.
Richard

I'm definitely still learning when it comes to LC, however I've installed
hundreds of apk files on various Android enabled devices using
apkInstaller. From those that I know and even my 12 year old daughter
knows how to install apk files that aren't available on the Android Market.
With the apkInstaller app or similar, you can install apk files via
email, dropbox, your website, USB, etc.
Even if you put the apk on your mini sd card in your Android device you
should have no problems installing the apk with or without the apkInstaller.

Are you certain that this works this easily on most Android devices? From
my little testing, this didn't seem to work reliably. I had to use an app
like tAttachApkInstaller (specifically designed to install apk's sent by
email), but even that didn't seem to work reliably or easily on the
half-dozen phones I tried at Verizon.
If you send the apk as an email attachment, clicking the link in the
email will install the app provided the customer reads the email on their
Android device.
There are many other ways too, but they usually involved an Android file
manager. Dropbox is another easy, direct way to install but not all your
customers may have that.
