Here are some ways to install APK files on your phone.

1. adb.exe - a few ppl here mentioned this.

2. Copy to SD card via mount. Get ASTRO (a great File manager)from the market to install APKs.

3. Email the APK file to your gmail account, and the android gmail program will have an install option.

4. You can open the android browser, and download the apk file. Just click on the file after if has completed downloading to install. If you need to location of the APK file, try your sdcard\download folder.

I tend to used option 3 and 4 if I do not have my USB cable with me or I have no access to a PC.

I do not have monkey yet, so I can not post of the monkey forums. If someone would like to post this information on the monkey forums for me, I would appreicate it.
