Huh? All you have to do is toggle a setting and you can install apps from anywhere on an android phone. They could be from some random website or even from a dirty usb flash drive you found in some back alley in Jakarta.
This is monumentally different from the state of things with iOS.
No, it's that it's easy/common to install apps from places other than Google Play. Sure there's a closed market, but the development platform is more-or-less open.
