I downloaded some mario game from the android market
it said i HAD to download another game BEFORE it would run
whatever i did, it came back to the same screen
so... i decided to download
it ended up to be a wopping 5mb game
i assumed it would take me to another android market game
but instead it took me to another website and made me download an apk file
what is this??
is it an executable?
the game was 'super mario'
and the game it made me download was 'papaya fish' - or something like that
seems very dubious practice to me
ALSO: i assumed that u could ONLY run android market games and applications (that where tested and verified to be non malicious - unless u had the option ticked to allow non market/external applications?
would be good to hear what others say
thanks
