In homes and offices around the world, a colossal number of developers are beavering away writing applications (known as "apps") that extend the functionality of the Android platform. These applications are available to download from a central, online software store developed by Google for Android devices. That store, known as Android Market, has collated and sorted over a quarter of a million apps.

Android Market has the highest percent of free applications of any app store. Distimo, a Dutch analytics company, has estimated that more than half of the apps on Android Market are available to download without charge. Obviously no user is ever going to be able to try all of the free apps. To help users in this regard, we have recently taken up the mantle to identify all of our personal favorite free Android apps. This is a colossal undertaking given the sheer number to consider.

We will be adding new Android software group tests on a regular basis, and over time anticipate that this feature will cover all genres of Android software. If you would like to suggest a new group test, identifying your own personal favorites, please contact us by email at android@linuxlinks.com or on skype. We would love to hear from you.
