It is certainly possible to install 3rd party apps. You have to enable your phone to do so (menu - settings - applications and then tick the box that says 'Unknown sources'. I don't know anythnig about the specific apps you mentioned, but I would advise caution with 3rd party apps, in case they're malicious in any way. In fact, I'd be cautious before installing apps from the Android Store, too. Some of them certainly look a bit odd to me.

The current version of Android we are on is 1.6, but there is an update expected within the next week or two to Android 2.1.

I have just posted a question on the Android Market forum to ask about apps that are no longer available. I'll let you know if I hear anything sensible...

Just noticed a reply to my question. I suggests that, if you download Astro File Manager from the Android Market, that has a tool to enable you to back up apps to the SD card. If you do that, you can reinstall them from the SD card, even if they disappear from the Market.

I do hope that this works for you. I am only passing on information gleaned from elsewhere. I haven't tried it...
