On mine, that's required before you can use the (Google?) "Market"
application to download and install Android applications.

...Or at the very least, you can't connect to use the "Market" until the
phone has recorded that you've entered your details for a gmail account.


Agreed, you can keep with just the pre-installed stuff without Google...
But then why have Android if you're not going to add apps? (Especially,
such as an ssh client.)

Cheers,
Martin
