The dark side of the new Android Market
A new version of the Android Market has just been launched, making it possible for every device owner to look for applications, buy or even remotely install apps to an Android device directly from the browser on a desktop computer. Wait, remotely install? Have we misheard something?
No, it’s an official feature of the brand new market. If you use an Android device, it means that you have a GMail account associated with your device, and now you can remotely install any application from the Android store. You just need to:
- log in to the market with your GMail account associated with your smartphone;
- choose any application you would like to install;
- click to the ‘Install’ link;
- carefully read all the permissions required by the application;
