How to Download Android Apps For Your Google Phone
Android smartphone users have two options for downloading and installing apps onto their device -- directly from the phone or through the Android Market website. Downloads from an Android phone run through the Android Market application, while the Android Market website provides a Web-based view of the application store and automatically syncs purchased or downloaded apps to your Android phone over the Web.
