ok, here is where I get thoroughly confused. a quick search for app2sd on google gave me quite a few sites from which to download the APK file. I got one from megaupload. Fine. But, how do I know that:
a) this is the latest version?
b) the one I got is not rootkit-ed or otherwise corrupted?!
With this @%#&* "Android market" being both a quasi-monopoly for Android applications, and with the PBIQ not able to download from it, are we really left with just taking a chance each time?!
I looked for app2sd on SlideME and got all sorts of garbage, but not this application.
I looked for app2sd on Freewarelovers with exactly the same result.
So an application like app2sd is not available from the two sites I was recommended when I got my PBIQ.
Why are there no PBIQ repos maintained by PocketBook themselves?!
Sorry if I am totally missing a point here, but I find this constant hunt for basic applications really frustrating.
And to think that Android is linux based is even more bewildering as on all my linux machines all I need to do to fetch an app is only "sudo apt-get install app2sd" and I would get the latest and totally safe version of the ap.
What am I missing here
Thanks for any explanations of the bizarre "Android on PBIQ" world...
