Quick question. I've got a few sideloaded apps (ie: Kindle reader) so I've not been bothered to update to the latest OS. I'm assuming that updating not only eliminates my ability to sideload in the future but I will also lose any apps I've loaded to date as well?

Thanks!

i have not heard that yet

Actually I may be way behind in things; did RIM actually go through with disabling sideloading on the original 2.1 release or not? I'm not suggesting that this latest update disables it, I haven't updated since Alec announced it was being disabled back in April.

I just checked this with the current 2.1.0.1032 Release: Sideloading still works as before.

Thanks for checking. I just updated and all of my previously sideloaded apps are still there (and working) as well.

What procedure are you using? I tried DDPB and it now doesnt work.

Sideloading ability was removed for paid apps, open source free apps can still be sideloaded from what I've read elsewhere.

I use a procedure which is described here:

Currently using the latest OS and no sideloading issues ..... nor were any previously installed apps affected. I tend to doubt RIM will somehow make previously installed apps stop working, but there could be some compatibility issues that may arise.

I will look into the possibility of paid apps not sideloading and let you know if I run into any issues.
