Very cool! But I didn't understand it at first. I have the impression you need to be browsing on the device where you want to install the app. It's the only way Google can continue to "ensure" that a specific app goes with its intended device, in other words, to try and prevent us from using "phone" apps on a tablet. If that's the case, then one of the best features of Fast Web Installer will be absent, which is the ability to browse on a nice, big computer screen, and target the app to any device in my Android arsenal (I think there are 3 atm).I saw this on Droid-Life Rumor: Google Preparing to Launch Browser-based Android Market Tomorrow - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog. This may solve the issues with the new market, browser to phone-wise. This is probably why they blocked AppBrain
WAIT!!! HOLD the presses. I just actually read the May update, and one of the photo captions says, "Download apps and music online triggering downloads to device…" YES!!!! I guess, then, like Appbrain your device appears in the online Market registry and voila, targeted downloads. Sweet.
