Lol. Carriers own the network. They can do what they want with devices they subsidize. Davlik is going to have all sorts of security built on top of it. To access certain features, will require the carrier signing the app. And in certain cases, the carriers would not be wrong in doing so for security reasons.

If you use an Android handset, there is no way for a carrier to lock out any third apps except by tweaking the Android core or Dalvik to make is carrier-compatible only. A generic Android handset, however, will run over any network and will run any apps its owner pleases.

Quote: If we (by we I mean all of us) don't have a large, organized community with content to deliver, what do you think the chances are a carrier is going to allow any non-approved application the "rights" to install other applications? If not zero, then its close to zero.

Members of the OHA have signed an agreement that they will not limit the functionality of the android platform/the freedom of the users, to install what they want. Members of the OHA include some large carriers, so I'm not afraid of the scenario that you are painting. Android is not like other platforms!

I'm just trying to clarify SlideME since the feedback we got was completely not the message we are intending to put out there. I'm not saying anything about number of submissions. I'm trying to clarify that we are not a catalog or database.

Shane,

You just announced your site a week or two ago. It takes time for people to discover your site. Put a clickable link to SlideME into every post you write in this forum and you'll get the traffic :-)

Peli CLICK HERE -->>>www.openintents.org<<<-- CLICK HERE!!! ;-) ;-)

For some reason, I don't think we at SlideME have done a good job communicating what we are about. After reviewing a lot of feedback

have

gotten, it seems that many developers think SlideME is about

searching

browsing for applications. We are not a database. We are not a baby HelloAndroid. We are about stocking and delivery of applications to emulators and soon-to-be devices. We deal with the whole work flow of getting the application from the developer to the end user, for

mobile.

are building the server and Android client side components to make this happen by the time devices launch at the end of this year.
