I'm becoming confused with all of the guidance being given to entrants of the ADC.
One the one hand, the flavour of the posts in the Challenge group is that we are not permitted to instruct the user to do anything to their emulator. This seems to include pushing files to it, installing an supplied SD Card image or even installing more than one application package. But unless I have been totally left behind (and its quite possible), this is just what you need to do to Android's own browser to use a proxy: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/e855c4998b25fc9c/d8cb5935a609b8cc?#d8cb5935a609b8cc Further to this, there is even no way to make the built-in Google Maps application to work: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/b02397ad796ce280/418ee733c7553f71?lnk=gst&q=proxy#418ee733c7553f71 Perhaps I'm mistaken in this, I don't have much experience with mobile phone development, but isn't a proxy configuration something of an abnormality for a mobile device?
