Top Free Apps for Android Phones
The Android experience is great. However, it can be improved with a few quick downloads. Here are some of the top free apps for your Android phone, all available on the Android Market.
Dolphin Browser HD is a browser that brings a lot more features to the table than the stock browser. It features a fluid interface, a smooth tabbed browsing experience and add-on support to provide additional functionality. On top of this, it's blazing fast.
Pandora provides free streaming internet radio. Simply create an account, name an artist you like, and the service will start playing songs it thinks you will like. As more songs are played and you give your input, the service begins playing more and more songs that you like and less that you don't. A must-have app for any music fan.
Handcent is an SMS replacement app. Let's face it, a lot of text messaging apps that ship with Android phones leave something to be desired. Handcent gives Android users an iPhone-esque chat bubble layout. The app also contains a lot of features not available in stock SMS apps, such as customizing the appearance and blacklisting users.
Google Music is another music app. Unlike Pandora, Google Music plays the music stored on your phone. However, those who sign up for the free Google Music service can upload their collections and stream it. This means no more filling your SD card with your collection. With Google Music, you can access your music from almost anywhere.
Hopefully this list helps you get started in mastering your Android phone. With these apps, you'll have a great foundation to build off. Not only this, but you'll also have a much better Android experience.
