Poynt for Android
Poynt is the only mobile, local-search application for Android you’ll ever need. The app uses your current location, based on GPS or user-input, to find the closest businesses, retailers, restaurants, gas prices, events and much more. Poynt offers a dedicated weather section, too. You can find local movie theatre listings and purchase tickets via Android. And the app integrates with your Google calendar and address book so you can quickly add contacts or events.

Movela Netflix Queue Manager for Android
No official Netflix for Android application exists at the moment, but the next best thing is surely Movela’s Netflix Queue Manager for Android. The app lets you search Netflix’s vast movie library and browse films by category, manage both your DVD and “instant” queues, rate movies and find recommendations based on your viewing habits-but unfortunately you cannot view Netflix streaming films.

Angry Birds
Unless you choose to reside in the ground beneath a large stone, you’ve likely heard of the phenomenon that is Angry Birds. Born on the iPhone, but eventually ported to most major mobile platforms, Angry Birds is the most popular mobile game ever-and it’s free on Android. Launch different types of birds in attempts to topple obstacles, foil your piggy-adversaries and save your unborn avian-spawn from total demise. And if the first version isn’t enough for you, Angry Birds Seasons is also available for free download.
