Update All Apps At Once?

I think the problem/limitiation here is one of security. It would seem to me to be a MAJOR security hole if one app could install another app without any sort of confirmation.

I know it's a real bugger when you have to do it so much, but in the long run it's the safest thing.

That said, I'm not a dev and perhaps there is a solution close at hand.

Since most of us mindless tap "update" and "ok" anyway, I don't see how it would be any different. I don't read the screens, I just click through them.

Maybe we can get one of those robotic fingers from the Droid commercials.

Sure, but if the app was named 'Ultra hackzor remote exploit, you would likely not click it.

An automated app could install that without your knowledge.

long thread so I didnt read it all, but the new updating come soon should have this feature in it.

I'd still look at the names of the apps. I just want something that will list all the apps that have updates available, let you check a box next to the ones you want to update, and hit "go."

Oh, right, I did read that 2.2 will have an 'auto-update' feature in the market.
