Parse error for an apk download

[conoki]

I have a Samsung Infuse and I want to download an apk file that is on a site and not the google play store. Every time I try to download it, it just shows this Parse error that it cannot parse the package. I've already checked the box in settings that allows unknown devices and it still says the same thing. Would I have to erase the factory data for it to download onto my phone?

Can you try to download it to your PC then transfer the .apk?

So I finally got around to it and it said the same thing when I put it into my SD card. Im assuming its the apk itself that isnt compatible with my phone

You are probably correct.
