One of the things that have worked best for Android is undoubtedly its apps. Apps have transformed Android from a start-up OS to a force to reckon with. As a matter of fact, Android is currently the king of the OS market.

Starting with the first Android platform - the Éclair OS, Android has never failed to amaze us. Now, with its latest Android platform - the Honeycomb OS, we expect even more.

An operating system's success relies primarily on its ability to provide apps. Like all it predecessors, the Honeycomb OS fulfills our expectations with its large no. of apps. 

We provide you an overview of 10 best Honeycomb OS apps:

1. Pulse news: Pulse news tops the list for a reason. In the age of eNewspapers and eZines, this app is an innovation itself. Pulse news makes it slick to read the news. It accumulates the top news from the web and shows it on a single webpage. The stories are shown in the form of thumbnails that makes it easy to access them. When you click on one of these thumbnails, you get the story in a clear format.

Pulse news provides you with a clutter-free way to keep a tab on the news from around the world.

2. Google Earth: Google Earth is a satellite based GPS interface that provides bird's eye view of every place out there. The twist with the Google Earth app on Honeycomb is that it works smoother than ever and provides you the enhanced view of any place along with topographical info, landmarks etc.

The view on Google Earth provides with a feeling of being in a 3D universe and with Honeycomb's enhanced functioning, it works like a charm.
