		toast0 4 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Is it possible to allow sideloading and keep users... Probably on the N-Gage, where you did would side-talk and so side-loading was the next thing to do :p But the terminology did seem to spring up with iOS. It makes sense to call it that there. But on a platform that allows it, it's just installing.

I think side-loading is meant to be a third option between downloading and uploading. I think it was installation from a flash drive/card connected to the device.
