[android-developers] Re: limited distribution

The reason I ask is that I may build a free app for limited release,
as part of a research study. If I choose iOS, then I can distribute to
up to 99 devices before I have to go through the App Store. Was
wondering if there was similar limit for Android. In the (former)
PalmOS world I could email my other app to anyone, they could install
it and that was that.
