AT&T bound Dell Aero won't support unsigned apps

Following suit with the Motorola BACKFLIP, the recently announced Android powered Dell Aero will not support unsigned applications. Even though the Dell Aero was not seen on the showroom floors of CTIA, the longtime PC maker didn't comment about their reasoning of not allowing unsigned apps – although it clearly looks to stem to just one culprit. Wireless carriers have long been able to sway their might and wants to the hardware manufacturers out there and it almost looks as though AT&T put their foot down about the situation. Sometimes in order to get handsets out there to customers, manufacturers might be willing to do absolutely what is necessary that's dictated by the wireless provider – and that's the situation we face with the Dell Aero; unfortunately. Even though there have not been any official sales figures released about the Motorola BACKFLIP, we'll eventually see if this justification may have any impact on the overall sales of this eventual handset.
