What do you mean by "Android's
lack of friendliness to third party applications (unless they come
through the Market)"?<br>

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).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
