Got any citations for that? The first time I personally ever encountered the term "sideload" was at a Microsoft developer demo for the upcoming Windows Phone around 2010, and another audience member raised his hand to ask what that term meant.

I don't remember calling it side loading when I had some of those earlier mp3 players but my experience wasn't universal.
