android: test app on a real device

My client wants to dogfood my android app. They don't have eclipse and don't want to install it. Is there a more convenient way to send my apk to them? Can I send it via email and let them open the attachment in mobile device? Will it start installing itself automatically?

Upload the APK to a Web site, configure the Web server to serve .apk files with the proper MIME type, and send the URL to the tester via an email, SMS, tweet, etc.
