Ok,

Just to sum it up, all in one place, so that I understand it correctly.

Step 1 - Download and instal the Android Emulator (following the appropriate thread).
Step 2 - Download and instal the Astro File Manager into the emulator (no thread I could find).
Step 3 - Download and instal the Android Marketplace (following the appropriate thread).

Am I correct so far?

Since I do not own a Droid smartphone, the part I am fuzzy on is: once I get an App from the Marketplace onto my PC, how do I use Astro to get it onto the eDGe?

As I understand, it could be up to 3 months before we see Android 2.2 and there has not been any mention of enTourage getting the Android Marketplace app from Google for the eDGe.

I would much appreciate the help. There are several free Apps I would really like for my eDGe that are only available on the Marketplace (such as: Kindle for Android, Nook for Android, Rhapsody, Amazon, BestBuy, eBay, as well as others).
