Verizon Droid Incredible running android 2.1 will not allow the install as it was not downloaded via android market. Is there a way around this, or is there a version in the market?

In the Android "Settings" app, go to "Applications" and check the box labeled "Unknown sources." This will allow installation of non-Market apps.

Some carriers (like AT&T) disable this setting, but I don't think that Verizon does.
