I've never heard about it before now, and it's already out of the AppStore. Now I'm very much interested, but can't check it out at all.<p>As much as I like my iPhone it sucks that you can't install random applications from any website like you can on <i>every other civilized smartphone platform</i>. People need to get over the AppStore-concept pronto, at least as the only option available.<p>As for Google's actions here, I agree they do seem rather dubious and while I can see how they don't want liability and want to do updates/bug-fixes on a paid(?) product they are no longer interested in developing, it certainly doesn't feel like they are follow their so-called do no evil mantra.
