HTCSync brings saving grace to AT&T’s crippling ways. Allows sideloading of Android apps sans Market.
Even though AT&T’s rationalization as to why they don’t allow non-Android Market apps on their Android devices is somewhat believable, the fact of the matter still stands — people want to do what they want, when they want, and how they want on their hardware. Thankfully, HTC’s own HTCSync desktop software goes around AT&T’s software nanny and brings back some freedom to Android. Namely, side-loading Android apps is a simple drag-n-drop affair. But given that AT&T has turned into a controlling bitch of a mother, I wouldn’t wait too long before getting HTCSync for yourselves. Me thinks that the next time we see a worthy HTCSync update, a few “critical features” will come up missing in the name of security control.
