I Think you have to update to the newest firmware to make it work.

Yeah, while waiting for a new feature in the app manager, you can write a tiny python/qt app for installing deb files. It's work for one hour
You'll have to use terminal only once.

Needless to say I'm starting to feel like I'm going to miss my chance here if these things continue getting pushed back and surreptitiously delayed. I have invested far too much time and money just to let this one go.
So does anybody know how to allow people to easily install .deb files without having to use the terminal? I would very much like to get this $3 sensation on the road, and I know everyone else would too....
