"hand held computing" indeed.

Come on, this is a totally reasonable approach that should help a bit with high pressure scan tactics but doesn't really hurt side-loading.
As long as they keep it like this. The existence of the "only allow side-loading for 7 days" option is definitely worrying.

Yeah, to me android is another Linux machine. I can change the date and for the device it's tomorrow. At least should be. What then? Will it accept the apk I just installed because it's tomorrow? Or reject because of no lease token from the one-almighty-Google? Or maybe it won't work at all when offline even with offline apk?
