“The Android is one of the most powerful smartphones
around, and it gains new functionality every day as more apps are
added to the Android Marketplace. Unlike the rigidly controlled
Apple App Store, the Android Marketplace is a bit freewheeling. It
can be hard to tell the gold from the dross.

“To help you find the gems, here’s a list of 75 of the best apps
the Android Marketplace has to offer.

“1) ASTRO File Manager

“This app might just be essential. It’s a full-featured file
manager that lets you view and manage the files on your Droid
without having to plug it into your computer. You can even use it
to backup your Android apps to your SD card. Free and paid. The
free version features ads. The paid version goes for $2.99 and
removes the ads.

“2) Dropbox

“This client for the Dropbox cloud-sharing file storage service
makes it easy to get files onto your phone without explicit
synching. You can shovel files into it from any of your computers
and then access them from any other computer or phone. Free.

“3) DroidLight LED Flashlight

“Turn the camera flash on your phone”
