Installing non-market programs
There are some applications you may wish to use which are not
available on the Google Android Market. You can download
and install applications from anywhere. But be advised that
applications have access to the data on your AirPad so please
do not install any applications if you do not trust the source. For
example, X10 maintains a forum where users may upload free
applications that they have found. Go to: http://forums.x10.com
Look for the Non-Market Apps section in the X10 AirPad Android
Tablet section. There you will fi nd user-uploaded applications and
instructions for installing them. You may wish to judge from the
comments there whether you feel the application is trustworthy.
X10 maintains this forum for user to user communication and does
no editing or reviewing of the content.
