I feel a little silly replying to this comment in every story about Android, but hopefully I won't always have to (as it will become a non-issue); but you can't download non-market store apps from numerous Android devices (all of the ones sold by ATT for example), as the carrier has disabled the ability to install a non-market application. Hopefully this trend doesn't spread to other carriers (although if Verizon is launching its own app store, they may very well implement this in the future).
