Fortunately, it is possible to install applications from alternative
App providers, on Android phones and other devices. Indeed multiple
android app stores already exists, allthough they are primarily
targeting phones at the moment.
http://andappstore.com/AndroidApplications/apps/
Is such an example. I don't know if Android will be the OS of choice
on ARM smartbooks but it is probably the best at the moment. I would
miss Google's propriatary apps, mainly the gtalk and gmail client. It
is a new market that has to mature, I hope the vendors will
collaborate on a single alternative app store for smart books.
