"marketplace" app (idea for future)

[ngvincent]

Currently, we need tethered-usb to install (maybe thru wifi as well?)

We should look at how/whether a (marketplace) app can download&install other apps. Can the app bypass the RSA/DSA key and simply execute the default android install function?(RSA/DSA key is same for all users?)

The marketplace app can simply be a QR code reader. The marketplace webpage can display a QR code (pointing to correct ?RSA/DSA-encrypted? spk/apk file) and install

That way, user doesn't have to scroll through a gigantic list of apps on the camera's marketplace app

Yes, this is possible. However, only .spk packages are supported by the installer. So we still have to encrypt our apks into spks (you can use PMCA-RE to do this).

I've implemented InstallerActivity as a proof of concept. It allows you to install apps from your SD card. It won't be much trouble to add the wifi download later.
