It means you do not download the apps from the Market. You find the .apk file online (ex: Google "facebook.apk"). Save it to your SDcard (I put mine in a folder called "apk's") and install it via your favorite File Explorer. (I use ES File Explorer)

you can find a how to here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...1-how-side-load-apps-if-market-wont-work.html but android phones and tablets are pretty close in comparison there might be some little things that are different but for the most part you should catch on no problem
