Google and Android have long been of particular interest to CNET News senior writer Stephen Shankland. Though formerly based in San Francisco, he now lives in the United Kingdom where he files regular reports for his Deep Tech blog on browsers, digital photography, computing, and science. Wireless is in his wheelhouse as well, particularly after he joined CNET's wireless team at Mobile World Congress earlier this year.
After Bonnie Cha took us surfing and slicing through fruit, Stephen offers a full tour through all the best Android apps that Google itself delivers. Whether you're checking your e-mail, listening to podcasts, or getting into Google+, he has the titles to guide your on your way. Reading and photography also populate his list, and he has just the app for hiking through the backwoods or the back streets of Milan.
