According to nickmgray on another thread:

"I don't think the demo unit I have will be a good dummy for this test. For some reason the phone I have DOES allow app sideloading. I've been in contact with a few others who have received the demo unit as well and mine is the only one that allows this."

So in short, Yes.

It's ATT policy for their androids that they shut down 3rd party apps

They don't want ppl tethering, wifi hot spot, getting apps they don't approve of etc. Hopefully the root will be fast coming, then it doesn't matter.

I got my Inspire last night - or early this morning actually. Definately no side loading allowed. Im trying out this program but it hasnt been working yet. I should have the File to root it soon for everyone and I'll post asap.

Side loading app is not working? Nooooo, i need swipe on this phone

Got it working... I'm not sure exactly how but I put android SDK and HTC Sync on my computer. After that it recognized that I had a device connected and I installed an akp. I think it was the HTC Sync that did it for the drivers I was missing.

This is what Im talking about everyone, this phone is likely going to be rooted at or before launch like I foretold.

We look forward in hearing from you in regards to this. Many thanks for all your hard work and 'sharing the wealth' like I say.
