can you download the android market on non-android phones?

Q. I am planning on buying this really awesome phone. But it is not an android phone. I want to know if I can download the android market into it maybe via a microsd card. Is this possible, if so how?

A. Unfortunately, no. For starters, Android Market is designed for Android phones. Therefore, it has to be an Android phone to work. Second of all, the Android Market installer itself is a .apk file which only Android phones can execute. Other phones can't execute these type of files.

What phone are you getting?

How can I get my android to install apps from web instead of android market?

Q. I tried to download games and apps from web but I get a message saying security settings don't allow installing any downloads from locations other that the "market". Is there anyway to change the settings? It's a Sony Ericsson Xperia phone.

A. Sorry, I don't know what carrier that phone is through. AT&T blocks side loading of apps like the way you describe. If you are with AT&T, here is a fix:

But, check that under Menu > Settings > Applications, you have "Unknown Sources" checked, that allows non-market apps to be installed. Good luck.
