Today’s WhatIs.com Word of the Day is sideloading, the installation of an application on a mobile device without using the device’s official application-distribution method.  Sideloading works differently on different mobile platforms. On an Android OS device, you simply check a box in the operating system settings. On an Apple iOS device, however, you have to jailbreak the device.
