A word of caution before you go hog wild downloading and installing applications on your Droid smartphone. To install the Appstore for Android application, you must first turn on the ability to install applications for other sources than the Google Android Market. While this step is not dangerous in and of itself, it does require that you be more vigilant about what software you install on your device because you are turning of a feature that Google perceived to be a security concern; if it the security is to address customer lock-in to the Android Market.
