The latest range of mobile phones have the new operating system called Android. Android operating system has created a revolution as it encourages the use and advancement of open source software for mobile phones. Creating applications is the greatest advantage in the Android operating system compared to the older mobile phones which has a conventional, rigid development process for applications.
In a way developers at large, get an opportunity to write programs and applications for the Android operating system and submit it to the Android Market. These applications (referred as apps) are available in the Android Market at cheaper prices or even sometimes for free.They can be downloaded easily into the Android phone. As part of the 10 billionth app download celebration, Google had offered 10 apps for 10 cents each. Every day for ten days, ten different set of apps were available for customers to purchase. A great deal indeed!
This deal offer got a great response from people as they awaited each day for the set of apps to buy and look forward to the next.
When we talk about apps, we need to definitely tell about Deal apps. Consumer bargain has taken a different meaning with the popularity of deal websites. There are many websites like the yipit clone that offer a mobile version which when installed on an iPhone allows to discover great deals on the go.
Google has recently announced the deal app “Google Offers” for Android phone. This means that the daily deal service is accessible anytime and anywhere from your Android phone.

Deal Categories: A range of categories from food to travel are available as Deal categories. You can browse through the deals available in all these categories.

Mobiles and tablets give consumers so much more power now, although with deal apps it’s also tempting to buy things you probably wouldn’t have bought otherwise!
