AT&T Finally Allows Off-Market Apps on Android Phones

May 17, 2011, 9:57 PM by Eric M. Zeman

AT&T has confirmed that, starting with the Samsung Infuse 4G, its Android devices will be able to load off-market applications. Historically, AT&T has blocked this feature, citing security concerns. AT&T indicated earlier this year that it would be making a change to that policy, and now it has done so. AT&T said that future devices will be able to access other app stores, such as the Amazon App Store, but it didn't specify if or how older devices would be able to access off-market apps.
