10 Best Android Apps Of 2012

No, Android faithful, we haven’t forgotten about you. Two weeks ago we named the best iPhone and iPad apps of 2012, and now it’s Android’s turn. It’s not easy, of course, to choose the top 10 apps from more than 700,000 selections, and the process is admittedly subjective. As with our iOS picks, we’ve tried to avoid the most obvious candidates — Facebook, Instagram, Pandora, Angry Birds and so on — and focus on new and less obvious apps that InformationWeek readers might find useful at work, home and on the road. Our picks may lean toward the pragmatic side of things, but they’re not all dullsville utilities and the like. Some are actually fun.
