Default [Q] Possible to sideload apps?

As expected, the B&N app store is really lacking. Is it possible to sideload apps?
Do we have to wait until root and custom firmwares are out before this is available?

I inserted my card into it - it can't recognize APK files, so maybe not yet.
Perhaps we just need to get a decent browser on it and associate .apk with package installer. Don't know.
Devices:
HTC One X (Int'l version) (Samsung - FIRE your designers!)
Nexus 7

Use "thanks" if my post helped you

Patience people! Patience!
I know it's hard =)
I have no doubt this thing will be one of the most tweaked and hacked devices ever. Price is low, specs are high, it's just asking for it.
