I too am a (reluctant) webOS convert and no its not an obvious question. I wish I could find the link of site where I learned to do it. Someone much smarter than I figured out how to do this and there may be a better way but here's one way to do it.
You need two android devices that can access the google market. No rooting necessary.
Download Astro File Manager to both devices. Its free.
Fire up Astro on the device that has the apk you want to transfer to the other device. (In this case the non Admiral device.)
Tap on the last button "Application Backup"
You will then see a list of all your installed apps. Click on the ones you want to backup and select "backup"
On the same device, open your email client of choice.
Hit the attach button and the email will ask you to chose attachment from a list of places. Choose ASTRO.
Then choose the file from Astro folder titled "backups"
Then choose the file from the folder titled "apps"
Then choose the app you want to transfer to another device.
Send the email to yourself (or to an email that the other device can receive)
Open the email client on the device you are transferring the apk to. (in our case your Admiral)
Open the email and save the attachment.
Open Astro on the device you just sent the email to.(on the Admiral)
Click the top button "File Manager"
It should open up to /mnt/sdcard. If not navigate there.
The saved apk from the email should be in that folder.
Tap on the apk choose "Install"
I probably made that sound much harder than it really is. It takes just a couple of minutes to do.
Now you can get apps on your Admiral that don't show up in the app catalog.
Every app that I have tried (a dozen or so) have worked just fine on both my Kindle and Admiral.
Hope that helps!
