David has an iPhone not an Android. I have an AT&T Android. You can
certainly install any Android app from the Android command line using
the adb command. The real issue is that you cannot uninstall the AT&T
preinstalled apps, such as AT&T Nav. And under Android 2.1 as I
mentioned I was able to replace the default Yahoo search with Google,
although I was able to add Google search before 2.1 was available for my
phone.
