The best Android apps are getting harder to find in the increasingly crowded Android Market. We're here to help as we test and rank the top applications available for Android phones. When T-Mobile launched the very first Android-powered handset – the G1 – back in 2008, the app library to go along with it looked like a minimart beside Apple’s Walmart. But the past few years have been kind to Google. The steady release of high-profile, high-power Android handsets like the HTC Droid Bionic, Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Evo 3D have turned that initial drizzle of apps into a torrent. Now with over 250,000 apps and counting, Google’s Android Market offers applications for just about everything – sometimes making it difficult to choose. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up what we think are the best Android apps in several different categories to give new users a rough guide Read More

And while the Market is almost equally saturated with apps designed to bring you some sort of television related experience, very few deliver up-to-date (let alone up-to-the-minute) content reliably. So I think I should be able to pick out a handfull of my faves. I like watching television programs on my mobile in bed at night and started out on a quest for the best software to facilitate that about a month ago. I’ve downloaded countless apps from local news networks, independent artist collectives, popular cable stations, and other, focused outlets. But the appeal of those apps is very limited and I wanted to find a program – or programs – that would give me variety, reliable Read More

A new app in the Android Market provides a method for watching television on an Android device. SPB TV delivers digital TV programming from channels that represent several countries and languages. For the one-time price of $9.99, users will be able to watch channels in major US markets, international news channels, weather reports, and music videos. SPB also offers a free Lite version but it features only a few channels and omits many of the major networks you’re probably interested in watching. A 3G or Wi-Fi connection is necessary to take advantage of the app as intended, but there is an option to watch lower quality videos that stream more easily. After testing out a few channels on the Lite version, I must say that the footage streams quite well on Wi-Fi (haven’t been able to check 3G quality just yet). There are a few Russian and other international stations I’m Read More
