Fair enough. I guess I may have been misled. The sites usually imply that if there is a problem, Google is quick to zap it in the bud. Thanks for the tip though!

Perhaps you can help me figure something else out then. I tried installing Fruit Ninja from the getjar app. When I try to install it, it says it requires access to system tools to "retrieve running applications". Is that normal for a game? I actually have no idea what it's saying.
Thanks for the help though guys!
