The Android Market allows you to download applications, games and tools for free and for a fee to enhance the functionality of your Android-powered phone. The latest fad entertainment apps, organizational apps and media apps are all available through the Android Market. The market operates with Google Checkout, which means you'll need an account to purchase apps.
