subject: 5 Awesome Tablet Apps For Android [print this page] Android tablets are starting to really pick up steam, and it probably won't be long before they surpass the iPad in terms of annual sales. It's not hard to understand why, either. Android tablets feature the same functionality at lower prices, great hardware, and terrific apps. Here are five exemplary applications you need on your Android tablet today.
Poynt for Android
Taking local search to the next level, Poynt uses your tablet's geolocation abilities to find the best shops, restaurants, theaters, and amenities in your area. With Poynt, you can even call up local businesses from within the app to place orders or inquire about services.
Adobe Photoshop Touch
For a mere $9.99, Adobe's Photoshop Touch is one of the best bargains you can find in the Android Market. Few apps pack as much awesome functionality into one tiny package. Photoshop Touch lets you retouch and modify images in a variety of ways that will impress even the most hardened tablet cynic.
Songza HD
Playlists are the 21st century equivalent of mix tapes. Songza HD gives you music playlists tailor-made for any purpose, whether it's working out or taking a road trip. You can either choose a pre-compiled list created for you by Songza's software, or create your own.
Dropbox
Where would we be without cloud storage? The official Dropbox app for Android is an easy way to share files and access media on other devices from your Android tablet. Considering the fact that space is at a premium on tablets, Dropbox is one of the most important apps you can install.
Feedly
RSS feeds have taken on renewed significance in the past year. Feedly is a tablet-optimized feed reader that pulls in Google Reader and Twitter feeds and displays them in a gorgeous, graphics-rich format for convenient perusing of the daily news.
Final Thoughts
Though it's included with Android 3.0, the Honeycomb browser should be mentioned as a footnote because it's one of the best apps on the Android platform. Compiling any "Top 5" list is ultimately a matter of personal tastes and preferences. However, the gems listed above should have universal appeal for all Android tablet users.
