AT&T removes Android app restrictions

After years of restrictions, AT&T will now allow Android smartphone customers to install applications downloaded outside the official Android Market.

The recently launched Samsung Infuse is the first of AT&T's phones capable of installing apps from outside sources, including unofficial app stores or web links, a process called sideloading.

Eventually after some software updates, all AT&T Android smartphones will be capable of sideloading, according to AT&T. AT&T is also working on bringing this upgrade to the Motorola Atrix, although AT&T is waiting on a "future maintenance release" for the Atrix in order to upgrade the phone.

What AT&T isn't saying, however, is that you most likely have Amazon to thank for this.

Verizon Xoom

The Verizon Xoom will debut Thursday. You can get it for $600 along with a 2 year contract and it will work on Verizon 3G networks, but its customers will soon be able to upgrade to 4G for free in the next several months. This new product is supposed to be the next worthy opponent to the iPad but is a long way from catching up since last year apple sold more than 15 million. Unlike the iPad the Xoom comes with a flash video player. The Xoom is also the first to run on Androids new version 3.0, which can store up to 32 gigabytes. But the price for the Xoom will be hard to compare to Apple's cheaper price.
