The Week's Best Android Apps [Video]

Casey Chan ?The Week's Best Android AppsNetflix: We've been waiting for Netflix to come to Android for a very long time. And it's finally here! Well, kind of. At the moment, you can only use Netflix on Android if you have a Samsung Nexus S, Evo 4G, Droid Incredible, T-Mobile G2 or Nexus One. It's still Netflix, dude. Free.


The Week's Best Android AppsWatchESPN: WatchESPN, which recently released for the iPhone, has now made its way over to Android. It carries the same awesomeness: live streaming of ESPN channels to your phone but sadly, the same stipulations too: you have to be a subscriber to Time Warner Cable, Verizon FiOS TV and Bright House Networks to enjoy the streaming goodness. Free


The Week's Best Android AppsViewdle Social Camera: Social Camera is a camera app that's made specifically for uploading and tagging photos to your social networks. It's super simple, you flip open the app and choose whether to take a picture or choose a picture from your photo roll. When you snap your shot, Social Camera presents a wheel with options to share the picture to Facebook, Flickr, e-mail, or MMS. What really shines about Social Camera is that it lets you tag the people in the photo. This is especially great because Viewdle has developed facial recognition technology that'll eventually start associating names to your friend's faces, which makes tagging way easier. Your own personal Facebook camera. Free.


The Week's Best Android AppsAl Jazeera: Al Jazeera already has a live streaming app available for Android, but a new full featured Al Jazeera English app has hit the Android Market and includes all the content from the website, breaking news alerts, free live video of their broadcast and the ability to send your media to Al Jazeera. Free.


The Week's Best Android AppsYahoo! Fantasy Baseball: Yahoo's Fantasy Baseball app has finally made its way into the Android Market-just a month and a half late. You can manage your lineup, track matchups, get real-time scoring updates, and more. Free.


The Week's Best Android AppsContract Killer: It's such a simple game: you're a sniper and you get Grand Theft Auto type assignments where you're ordered to kill bad guys. There's 17 story missions and unlimited random missions where you can shoot off 20 different guns. I'm having a lot of fun trying to get the perfect headshot as fast as I can. Best part is it's free.


The Week's Best Android AppsCatch Notes: Now supporting Honeycomb, Catch lets you jot down the thoughts, ideas, text, voice, images, and locations youneed. For Honeycomb, it comes with unique features like fragments, action bar, an enhanced note editor and more. Free.


The Week's Best Android AppsBird Hunt: It's a live wallpaper that also doubles up as a 'video game'. Bird Hunt is an ode to the classic Duck Hunt, it uses 8-bit graphics to bring back that nostalgia and lets you shoot down birds by tapping the screen. Childhood memories are great. $1
