What is the Android Market?

The Android Market features paid and free applications. It now has over 20,000 applications for users of mobile phones which are powered by the Android software by Google. There are three places to find and download applications, Handango, MobiHand, and the official Google Android Market.

If you like a particular application but find the cost is more than you want to spend, shop around because sometimes applications will cost on one site yet be free on another.

It is very easy to find useful applications with Android Marketplace. It places the applications from most popular to least popular. It also separates them between paid and free applications.

If you want to know more about a particular application while on Android's website, simply mouse over the application. It will display some screen views along with giving a description of what the application does and who designed it. Most of the developers also include a link to their own website for more detailed information.
