Adobe Flash Player 11

| FREE | Adobe Systems
With Adobe killing mobile Flash in the browser, malware writers may have a tougher time attacking Android. Most exploit packs target Flash and other Adobe products, including Flash Player for Android. In fact Adobe updated its mobile Flash Player just today to version 11.1.102.59, which fixed "critical" security vulnerabilities intended for PC users. As a result, not including Flash reduces the operating system's threat level—but by how much? "[Attackers] will have to look elsewhere," said Fraser Howard, principle malware researcher at Sophos. But in reality, he added, attackers target Windows PC, not mobile, users with these Flash-based exploits. Tim Wyatt, a principal engineer at Lookout Mobile Security, was less concerned. He said Adobe treats Android as a "first class platform" and provides timely patches for Android users. Furthermore, he has never detected malware targeting Android specifically via the Flash runtime. Yesterday, Adobe confirmed that it will no longer develop Flash for mobile devices after its next release and instead focus on HTML5 and AIR apps. But the company assured it will continue issuing "critical bug fixes and security updates" for devices running the software—like the BlackBerry PlayBook and Android devices. Now that Android is the most widespread, and open, mobile platform, it attracts more malware. Common Android Trojans that sneak their way into your smartphone through poisoned apps are premium rate billing, GPS-based espionage, fake antivirus, and poisoned search results.

free Even though the Kindle comes pre-packed with its own Web browser, it never hurts to have a back-up. Dolphin Browser is a veritable trickster of a mobile browser. You can change this Android app's look and feel through custom themes, add capability with Add-ons, or even navigate by gesture. When you encounter a pesky mobile site, you can don a disguise—for example, you can masquerade as an iPad—to unlock the un-cropped page. Flummoxed by Flash? No more, so long as you're running Dolphin and Android 2.2. The browser lacks a full synching service, but it does support Google Bookmarks. Read More

Evernote

| FREE | Evernote Corp.
free This app is the one you need to install apps that aren't in the Amazon Appstore. Note that you will also need an Android smartphone, an SD card, and a computer. For complete instructions, see our detailed guide for How to Run Almost Any Android App on the Kindle Fire. Read More

free; $45 per year for optional subscription If you weren't an early adopter of Evernote, the freemium note-taking and organization app that synchs all your files to a cloud service, there's no shame in being a late adopter of this outstanding service. Think of Evernote as your digital brain, a place to store everything from typed notes, to photos, to audio messages, to Web clips. The Evernote interface lets you access and search all your bits and pieces of information—anything you want to remember or be able to look up later. On every device, tablets included, Evernote works smoothly, looks great, and most importantly, integrates with dozens of other apps and services. What I like best about Evernote is how it automates synchronization, a fail-safe measure in case you forget to put your files back in the cloud when you're done working on them. Read More

Convertr

| $0.99 | Vervv
free Sports fans will want to download an app for checking the score and following the news about their favorite teams and players. If you follow sports of all kinds, ESPN ScoreCeter should be on your Kindle Fire. It has the most comprehensive list of sports, leagues, and teams to follow, including soccer, cricket, and rugby. Another good one is Score Mobile (free), although it doesn't have rugby and it has a slight leaning toward American teams and leagues. Read More

free to download; requires $7.99 per month subscription One of the most popular video-streaming services, Hulu, announced early support for the Amazon Kindle Fire. The Hulu Plus app is free to download, but it requires a $7.99 per month subscription to watch most content, although the app does have a selection of free content, mostly selected episodes (the pilot of Ugly Betty, for example) or funny clips from popular television shows, with an occasional full-length movie thrown in.

Dolphin Browser® Mini

| FREE | Dolphin Browser
$1.99 I'm always surprised how often I need a conversion calculator on all my mobile devices. Convertr is a great one for a tablet because it includes currency conversions, which I always want at hand while traveling. It also has templates for figuring out conversions on data rates, mass, length—and if you dive into the settings panel, dozen more that aren't shown off the bat. Read More

99 cents What I like about the physics puzzle game Cut the Rope is its appeal to a wide audience, young and old. It's challenging enough for a grown adult, yet simple enough for a six-year old. Cut the Rope also suits mobile devices as a true casual game, one that you can dip into and dip out of without any loss of continuity in the game. Some of the short levels are simple enough to complete in seconds, while others may take several minutes after multiple attempts. But the point is, it's the kind of game that doesn't punish you for putting the game down for a moment. Read More
