In case you're worried about experimenting, everything is reversible. If you don't like the alternative browser, email client or media player, you can always choose to uninstall and get back to the default application. So, if you wish to get more out of your Android device, a bit of an OS refresh maybe, here's a bunch of 10 alternative applications that get our recommendation.
Best Alternative Keyboard Application: SwiftKey ($3.99)
A slightly larger and a much more useable version of the Android keyboard, SwiftKey is a decent offering that introduces a whole lot of features, including a revolutionary text prediction option. It doesn't just predict the word you're typing currently, but also uses a pre-set algorithm to guess the next word. Over time, it ‘learns’ how you write and becomes more accurate. You can try it out for a month before you buy it.
Best Alternative Email Application: K-9 Email (Free)
The default Android email client is very basic. It serves the purpose, but some complain that it feels and looks rather bland. K-9 Mail on the other hand does the job in a better way, and it allows you to customise pretty much everything according to you taste. You can edit colours and fonts, combine multiple inboxes/accounts, use various gesture options and even set individual view options for every folder.
Best Alternative MP3 Player: MortPlayer (Free)
MortPlayer is specifically made for people with enormous MP3 collections, gathered over time and put together by folders. It doesn't work by the way of tags or playlists; it just boots and loads up the content of a particular folder and plays whatever is in it. No fancy stuff. It is considered a great tool and application simply because it bridges a tiny gap.
Best Alternative IM Application: Nimbuzz(Free)
Standalone messengers are good for what they do, but what do you do when you have friends who prefer separate IM clients? You can get Nimbuzz, a cross-platform all-in-one messenger app which is regarded as the most complete and feature available in the Market. It supports the likes of Google Talk, Facebook, MySpace, Skype and many more such services. Better yet, it’s free!
Best Alternative Video Player: RockPlayer Universal ($9.99)
(Free ad supported version also available)
RockPlayer is a high-performance alternative to the stock Android Video Player, specifically optimised for mobile devices. It supports a variety of video formats such as avi, rmvb, flv, mkv, mp4, mov, wmv, asf & ts. It also features a resume feature, subtitle support and accurate audio encoding.
