About time!

Working perfect for me but ability to uninstall via market would be a nice feature.

Is there any way you can install apps via USB so that you don't have to use the data connection?

Yes but you need the .apk file. There are loads of sites offering the APK's but be warned! They may not be what they claim to be. You will have no idea what is actually being installed on your phone. A google search for 'Android apk download' will get you started.

PS: Most apps are only a few KB's... I wouldn't worry about using data line to download them.

This rocks. Far better than the iTunes App Store syncing. I can't wait for Google to get music in the Market. Did anything ever come of the talks/agreement/whatever with 7Digital?

Deadly!

Thanks for the link OP. Long overdue by Google.

Love the way it auto - installs the app on your phone.

Excellent, thanks for that! The reason I don't want to use my data allowance is that as soon as I use it I'm charged 99c (I think!) for the day and I'm unlikely to use it for the rest of the day so it's a waste to spend 99c just to get an app when I can download it on the PC.

I presume then that you lcok your data connection OFF as most apps will connect (for ads) anyway?

Breezer · 05-02-2011, 17:50

There doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall apps from your phone using this, or am I missing something?

Yeah you can't do that (yet) ! It's basic website from google which I say they will update soon enough to get features.

Maybe take a few features from http://www.appbrain.com/ Hot apps this week is a feature I would like to see
