Were these links useful to anyone who doesn't want to install market?Anyone have additional links to contribute?Does anyone want additional links if I find them?Comments appreciated.
VERY Useful. Despite the amazing efforts around here, unless you have computer hardware running Intel's 86 chip (anyone with a Mac more than 5 years old) you can't do the hacks. That means even Clockwork's Not Ugly Market Hack still isn't an option. BUT, when Roebeet posted a way to install apk's using the browser, this thread was the first place I went. Right now, I'm busy scanning/dl'ing apps that I intend to try out, pre and post FW upgrade, and report back what works. Seriously, thanks for this.
I think you need to install the AppBrain app from their site. Should be able to through your web browser. Dunno 'bout Tapp, but I'd guess that's similar. No doubt you need to register 1st.

AppBrain works through the regular market. It only links to the files(and downloads them automatically) in the google market. So it won't work unless your regular market does.

I tested all the OP links and found that all but AppBrain actually had downloadable .apks. Most have rather large repositories (with exception of curvefish). Very usefull information, thanks phd.
I apologize if this isn't the correct spot for this question, but I'm wondering about compatibility. Will any Adroid app work with the PDN (which is running 2.1, I believe), or do I have to somehow confirm that a particular app will run on 2.1?
Good question Jazzman. I've just been hunting and trying stuff, hit and miss. I have been keeping a list of what works and what doesn't, but it's a work in progress so far as I'm finding newer versions of some apps and slowly getting around to trying them. In another week to 10 days I hope to have something post/wiki worthy. Which brings me to my latest find, something so easy I completely overlooked it ... SOFTPEDIA! They have a whole handheld section filled with up to date versions of all the free/shareware apks out there plus some demo/crackable stuff. All downloadable to your PC or (I assume but haven't tried) through your PDN browser. They have a mobile section too that I haven't had a chance to explore, but but looks like it's more specific to what kind of phone you have and doesn't break things down by categories like the handheld section.Oh, and you can filter your searches by OS too, which should cut out the Windows CE and iPad junk.

I linked your list on the "Tested" thread in the App Compatibility subsection.http://www.slatedroid.com/pandigita...l-novel-compatible-apps-tested.html#post61714Edit: This thread was already linked on the wiki. (and I put it there, doh!). I noted that there's a decent list here now on it and made a direct link to the post with your list on there as well.
Social / adversiser supported Apps / Games.While I don't remember the Apps name(s) I ran into two of them where if the WiFi was turned off the App Would not load??avid
OK. I updated the list in the first post.I double listed Blackdroid because using the mobile link allows you to see the list without any graphics clutter.The additions do not need the market either.
Thanks for the great list of sites, just what I was looking for!Has anyone tried any small sports games that work well for the Novel and also what are the best strategy games (i got mahjong and love it) that also work well?
