Was there Sideloading and SSH clients for the Curve back in 2007? I had a couple generations of the Palm Treo, and had a blackberry for a couple years, and, except for a game of Yahtzee that I paid $9.95 for, I don't recall every buying any apps for the phones. Certainly nothing compared to the App Store for the iPhone (Which, Ironically, was originally never going to happen with Steve Jobs who didn't want developers destabilizing his perfect device with their grubby little native apps. :-)

> Was there Sideloading and SSH clients for the Curve back in 2007? Yes, there was actually. Thankfully, the SSH client I used still has its update history from 2007 up so I can link it[1]. Blackberries never had restrictions on sideloading either as far as I know. That was something that came about with iPhone (unless one counts basic phones before that). Used it from around 2007 until I traded in my Blackberry Curve for a HTC Android Phone. Nice little client for the time and even supported ssh keys. From the site site linked below: > 27 February 2007 After another year of off-and-on development there is another stable release version. Thank you to everyone that helped test this release. The previous release version, 1.4.20, is still available for download, however please let me know if there are problems with the new stable release. Version 1.6 includes support for Keyboard Interactive authentication and an HTTP proxy solution for people behind telco firewalls. [1] http://www.midpssh.org/ http://www.midpssh.org/
