Yes.
Officially, Android is not supposed to be used on tablets until version 3.0 some time next year. That is the reason why the IQ ships without the google suite of proprietary apps, like the marketplace.
Technically, you *have* to install all apps from the SD card but the onboard 2GB storage is seen as an SD card so you should be able to install from there.
In fact, the Dec 10 update drops 3 apps into the app folder in the onboard storage and they install just fine.
Since I don't yet have marketplace access (though the local wizzes around here seem to be close to cracking that nutty nut) I've installed most of my apps by downloading to the SD card from the PC.
