    Place to download mainstream apps other than Google Play?

    Hope I've made the right decision!

    Hi, I've just got my first smartphone, a HTC Desire HD. I was split between getting Android and Windows 7. Windows 7 seemed more in-tune with syncing between the phone and the PC especially with office apps such as OneNote. I opted for Android in the end because it's more established and...
