Self-signing is code not signed by any certifying authority and thus is "unsigned" as considered in the industry. If Apple let anyone self-sign a .app, the word "jailbreak" wouldn't have entered the 3G lexicon. Self-signing is still unsigned code in the OHA's view, Apple's view, and in the view of PhoneNews.com. I suspect Palm would agree with such statements if asked. I disagree with trying to make that academic distinction.

Part of the process of creating the .ipk file is to package it and sign it. http://predev.wikidot.com/installing-apps-without-rooting Actually from what is being said (not ready to test it myself yet) it doesn’t only effect unsigned applications.
