Free Android Software at a New Google Android Group

It was announced this morning that a new Android Google Group will have postings of new Android freeware at http://groups.google.com/group/android-freeware.

There are already some initial applications that are already placed there including a Memo game, file browsers, XLive, and even a mini Opera browser.

The rules for this group are:

• Promotion of non-free (e.g. trials, shareware, demo versions) software is strictly forbidden.

 

• Use this group for promotion of the free software itself, not your homepage and your business. Provide only links to the software’s original homepage.

 

• In the Subject field write the name of the software and version.

 

• In the body write a short description of the software and link to the product’s homepage.

*** I made the incorrect assumption that this was a group created by Google but Jeff Sharkey pointed out in the comments below that it is in fact from an Android Freeware Directory, which I won’t link to as he was astute to point out that they may be trying to game the group in order to get traffic.

Perhaps over time this site may prove to be a quality resource and the freeware group be something of value to check out new Android apps.

Jeff incidently is one of the 50 winners from the first round of the Android Developer Challenge with his Scan App.
