    If you have a 'marketplace' icon on your phone go there.

    I'd recommend downloading 'appbrain' and that will co-ordinate apps between phone and PC based on your google account.

    Not sure what you mean by "best downloadable apps" but the iphone wipes the floor for choice with the android market. And I speak as an android user.

    You want to look at the android market place. There should be an app on your phone for it.

    You can certainly search on the pc too.

    You must be looking in the wrong places, plenty of good write ups.

    And not noticed any bugs on my Android

    What was the site, was it one of googles or did google merely find it for you?
