title: Silent installation on Android devices
body: <p>I've accepted for a while now that it's impossible to silently install an application on Android - that is, to have a program install an application bundled as an APK without providing the standard OS installation prompt and going through the app installer activity. But now I've picked up a copy of the Appbrain fast web installer, and it does exactly this.</p>
  
  <p>How on earth is this possible? :D</p>
