have you tried downloading it from the market and installing it?
apk files are not flashable zips. You should be able to long press them in astro and install them but I am not positive about that. Most of the ones I have installed are from the market.

If it is in astro file then you can just press on it and it should install the apk file. Most apk files can be installed this way.
Its not in the market this it seems is the only way to get the app. It was in 2.1 but not in 2.2 froyo
that's ok sometimes the easiest thing is the hardest to figure out. at least you know how to install apk files now.
