  1. That said update for EXISTING devices better be rolling out…AT&T has gotten a lot of my money. I wasn’t planning on upgrading any time soon.

  2. About time. But as someone else stated what about existing devices. Will the inspire be open for side loading when the update is released

    1. I believe AT&T will be rolling out with an update for existing devices which will unlock the feature for you.

  3. I’ve been using the sideload wonder machine to do this for a long time… This is not even news…

    1. Justin,

      Your average consumer is not aware of this tool nor do most of them know how to operate it. They just expect apps to work on their device. In addition. You are held captive by your PC as that is a windows application. In my opinion, most users want to be able to download over the air directly from their devices while on the go.
