After years of restrictions, AT&T will now allow Android smartphone customers to install applications downloaded outside the official Android Market.
The recently launched Samsung Infuse is the first of AT&T's phones capable of installing apps from outside sources, including unofficial app stores or web links, a process called sideloading.
Eventually after some software updates, all AT&T Android smartphones will be capable of sideloading, according to AT&T.
"Over the next few weeks, we will also roll out this capability to existing devices in our base for which an upgrade is possible," an AT&T spokesman said.
