Twitter for Android
There are plenty of great Android Twitter clients available, but we keep coming back to the official Twitter for Android app because it's clean, easy to use, and it gets the job done. Plus, the app was recently updated with multiple account support and push notifications, making it even better.

钛备份是最适合你的综合性备份工具。它能把你的文件、SD卡、应用、个人设置统统备份到SD卡或者Dropbox。这样就为你ROOT、优化及畅玩手机解除了后顾之忧,必要时还原即可。钛备份也是建立Android手机自动备份机制的核心。

Dropbox
Dropbox仍然是首选的文件存储与同步的首选方案。虽然有其他的选择,由于它的高可用性以及它之上的众多实用工具和可选扩展,Dropbox还是我们的最爱。另外,由于Dropbox在你下载一个文件之前是不会真正占用你手机上的空间,它是一个提高你手机存储容量的简单方法。
[下载页]
Swype
Swype is so popular that more Android phones come with it pre-isntalled than don't these days. If you haven't used it yet, it's worth the download. Once you start using it you won't find yourself tapping individual letters every again. You'll get so used to gliding your fingers across the screen from letter to letter that you'll miss it if you move to a new phone without it.
[下载页]
Tasker
如果你对自己说过"如果在这种情况下, 我希望手机做那个"而又不想自己动手, Tasker就是为你准备的.不必是Android高手, 你也能使用Tasker大部分功能-当然如果你是高手的话, 那就更好了. 想手机一到办公室就自动打开WiFi, 或者一上车就自动打开蓝牙? Tasker是你完美的选择.

Voice Search
Voice Search has been upgraded several times since it made the pack last year, and if you're not making use of it, you should be. The app now lets you navigate by voice command just by speaking the address, send emails and SMS messages by speaking the recipient and then the message, and of course, search the web quickly by talking to your phone. Once you get used to dictating your SMS messages while driving, you'll never feel the urge to text while driving again.
[下载页]
File Expert
There's no shortage of file management and browsing tools for Android, but File Expert gives you a tabbet interface that's easy to browse, easy to search, and lets you share those files with other computers on your network via Wi-Fi without connecting to a computer. The app even rolls in an SMB client for audio and video streaming on remote computers when you're away from home.

五、多媒体应用
Google Music Beta
You don't have to be in on the Google Music beta to download and install the new Music Beta player for your Android phone. It helps, but the Music Beta player also plays the music on your Android device, and looks much better than the stock music player that ships with Android. You can browse by tiled album art, switch to landscape mode to flick through cover art to find a song, or scroll through a list of album or artist names while the persistent player at the bottom makes sure you don't have to stop the music to search.
[下载页]
Pandora
Pandora is almost ubiquitous, but its Android app is a pleasure to use, especially while driving. The app offers access to all of your stations and ratings on the go, and can automatically adjust your stream quality based on the data connection you have. Creating new stations on your phone is easy, and your new stations will be available on the desktop the next time you get to a computer.
[下载页]
Kindle
Android版Kindle让你轻松接入Amazon巨大的电子书市场和众多电子书籍。你可以在Android上阅读这些书籍,你还可以在手机上记录下你的阅读进度然后在电脑上或者Kindle阅读器上继续你的阅读之旅。Android版Kindle让还没有Kindle阅读器的你也能享受阅读的快乐。
[下载页]
MoboPlayer
The default Android player leaves much to be desired, especially media format support. MoboPlayer crashed onto the scene with software decoding and broad format support, a smooth and clean player that supports gestures to control playback and volume, and is completely free.
[下载页]
Doggcatcher
Google Listen may be ubiquitous when it comes to downloading and enjoying podcasts on your Android phone, but Doggcatcher is probably the best app for the job. The app supports audio and video podcasts, variable speed playback, off-hours downloads or Wi-Fi only downloads, and even though it's pricey, many of you thought it was more than worth the money when we looked at the best mobile podcast catchers.
[下载页]
Spotify
Spotify's launch in the US was big news, and if you've scored an invite to the service or signed up for a premium or unlimited account, you can take your music with you using the Spotify app for Android. For Spotify free or Unlimited users, you can use the mobile app to sync your own music collection with the app, but Premium users get the benefit or offline playback and the ability to search Spotify's database of music on the go and listen to new music at any time.

FourSquare
FourSquare has come a ways from just being a way to tell the world where you are at any given moment and collect points to see outgoing you are compared to your friends. Now that the service is rolling in local deals and check-in bonuses and benefits with businesses in communities around the country, FourSquare can be a great way to have a little fun checking in and sharing your location with friends, but also a great way to save a few bucks on appetizers and drinks at your local bar.
[下载页]
Netflix
作为刚刚发布的移动应用,Netflix只在少数设备上工作 -- 但是在这些设备上它都工作得很好。通过WiFi或者3G网络,它能够流式地在你的Android手机上播放你放在Netflix Instant列表中的影片。虽然你需要一个Netflix账号并且要小心你的手机流量,但是总的来说它是在你路途中打发时间的好帮手。
[下载页]
Yelp
Yelp is still the best way to find a new place to eat or something to do in your area. Take location reviews with a grain of salt (the way you should for anything on the web) but Yelp's ability to show you what's in your immediate vicinity either by map or augmented reality view are fun to use. Even if you're not interested in the fun factor and just want to find a place that's open at 3 in the morning and you're hungry, Yelp is there for you.

PicPlz
iOS users have Instagram, but everyone has PicPlz, another social network/photo sharing service that will remix your photos with filters and effects to add interest and then share them with your friends on the service and with your friends on Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and other networks. PicPlz will even drop your photos on Dropbox so you can get to them on other devices if you want.

Magic Hour
Magic Hour, named for those first and last sunlit hours of the day where the light is perfect for shooting video and capturing gorgeous photos, offers filters and photo editing tools to tweak your photos on your Android phone. You can apply simple filters to add interest, or you can change the brightness, contrast, or build your own filters to apply, and then share the final product with friends. Check out the free version to get a feel for the app before buying filters or buying the full version.
[下载页]
Camera360
Camera 360 also applies filters and effects to your photos to try and spice them up, but the focus of this app isn't just to make photos of your cat more palatable to your Twitter friends. Camera 360 has HDR effect filters, a tilt-shift and color-shift mode for your existing photos, and the ability to share those final photos on Facebook or Twitter.

Twidroyd, Twicca, and TweetDeck
Twitter clients are a point of contention for many people – everyone has their favorite. If you dislike the official Twitter client, TweetDeck gives you access to your Twitter feed and your Facebook stream in one app, and many of you have suggested Twicca to us as a beautiful client that's worth mention – so we took a look. Also, it's worth noting that Twidroyd was our App Pack selection for Best Twitter client.
Download Twidroyd, Twicca, or Tweetdeck
Swiftkey and 8pen
Swype is certainly the ubiquitous alternative Android keyboard, but it's not the only one out there. We've discussed some of the best Android keyboards out there based on the type of typer you are, so don't stick with Swype just because you have it. 8pen may look wacky, but once you start using it, it's remarkably intuitive, and Swiftkey's latest updates make it even more attractive and easy to use, especially for tablet users.
Download Swiftkey or 8pen
This list is hardly exclusive, and there are tons of other great Android apps we couldn't feature here. Do you have Android apps not listed that you can't live without? Share your favorites in the comments below.
