Hi Jeff,

To get around the contact listing problem of late I have been using
"Gesture" which searches via characters drawn on the screen local contacts,
apps, web history etc. (All configureable of course).

Cheers,

Then click on a URL to an APK on a web site, or enter a URL to an APK in the
browser address bar. The application will be installed like any other.

Providers are an SDK thing (think interface that an application must
implement)... You need to find an app which implements what you want (or
write one). For example, the Facebook app does this sort of thing, but might
not be the right choice for you.

Yeah, I'd be searching for an app which does what you want. My point is more
that there isn't anything on the phone forcing this behaviour, but that
doesn't mean anyone has thought its important enough to actually write an
alternative.
