When talk turns to mobile app stores, Apple's iTunes App Store is often the focus of conversation—but that may be quickly changing. ABI Research reported that Google's Android Market overtook Apple's in Q2 2011, becoming the marketshare leader in mobile app downloads with a 44 percent share, versus Apple's 31 percent. If you're an Android smartphone owner, that should come as no surprise. Not only does the Android operating system power a wide array of handsets from HTC to Samsung (Apple, as always, has its OS tied exclusively to its own hardware), but there are many excellent apps that expand your cell phone's out-of-the-box functionality. And many of the best Android apps are free Android apps.
That's right, you don't have to spend a dime in order to soup up your Android phone. The free Android apps that you'll find in this 40-app deep roundup offer a mix of entertainment (Slacker), productivity (Evernote), and games (Angry Birds) software that will turn your smartphone into an all-in-one wonder device. The free apps that were selected were chosen because they are stable, useful, and add extra functionality.
Are you ready to check out the best free Android apps? Long-time Android users will find a solid mix of some oldie but goodies, as well as relatively new apps.
