|Zoo Keeper is a match-three game like Bejeweled. This free version only allows online multiplayer battles, so score like a madman in the 30 seconds per turn you're given and rage like one if your opponent takes you down in a single turn while you only got bad draws or missed the good ones under your nose.

|Remember the original Tamagotchi from 1997? This is a simulation of that version, along with the second edition that was released a couple months later. One mode gives you the Tamagotchi as you remember it, while the other is enhanced with color graphics and better touch-screen control. They even put in notification support, so you remember to clean your critter's shit. It's only free for US and Canadian users, though. If you're not from either place, you can either download the paid [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.namcobandaigames.tamagotchiclassic.apk ''Tamagotchi Classic''] app from Google Play, or download the .apk from [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13385976/Tamagotchi%20L.i.f.e.apk here].

|Just like the original ''Tamagotchi L.i.f.e.'' app, except it simulates the Tamagotchi Angel instead. Like the other app, it's only free for US and Canadian users. If you're not from either place, you'll have to download the paid [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bandainamcogames.T_Angel_and ''Tamagotchi Angel''] from Google Play.

|If you've played "Wild Guns" for SNES, it's basically that with mobile controls. The campaign is very short, but the endurance mode is fun and challenging. Make sure to check the Settings page to see how to actually play.

|It's just like the original ''JezzBall'' for Windows, only better. There's a [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.winterdust.jezzballclassiclite free version], but that only lets you get up to level 3.

|Dolphin HD is a great browser, Opera Mobile is pretty cool too. I find the default browser perfectly acceptable though. Find what suits your taste.

|If you've unfortunate enough to be on a network that limits your data, try this browser. Opera Mini relies on Opera's servers to compress webpages, saving you data and long loading times. If you want a more up-to-date version of Opera Mini, try [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser the new Opera browser]] on Google Play. However, this standalone version of Opera Mini works better on older/less powerful devices.
