I believe applications are written to a directory on the phone that is not visible to normal users (via unix permissions). If you have a developer phone (which gives you root access) you could access it. I think that's oneof the reasons Android Market is not available on the developer phones.
I don't know what SlideMe's policy is, but I think in general if you make your application installer available to people who have root access to their phones,they will be able to get the .apk and potentially make it available to anyone with the SDK to install.
