Bottom Line: As far as security companies go, Lookout has perhaps the best grasp of its Android user base by creating a simple, effective, intuitive app that you'll hardly notice running in the background.

Bottom Line: Fast, flexible, and friendly, Penultimate is a first-rate handwriting app for the iPad that aims to replace your favorite pen with your index finger.

Bottom Line: Lexmark Mobile Printing (for iPhone) lets you print image files, clipboard text, and PDFs from an iPhone to compatible Lexmark printers, but lacks the ability to print Office documents or initiate scans.

Bottom Line: Pixlr-o-matic pimps up your mobile photos like no other app. Just don't expect much in the way of basic photo editing.

Bottom Line: Adobe has done an excellent job fitting its leading image editor to tablets. Using Photoshop Touch is easy and intuitive, but don't expect anywhere near full Photoshop power.

Bottom Line: Crow is an iPad game that beckons you to take a flight through the dark side in an adventure that lets you choose your own path.

Bottom Line: As one of the few alternative iPhone browsers, Opera Mini is super fast and backwards-compatible, but it can't replace Safari.

Bottom Line: Zippity is an iPhone app that lets you open a variety of compressed file types. File size limitations, may limit its appeal, however.

Bottom Line: The iPhone app Wavii aggregates and summarizes news for you based on topics you select, but it doesn't hold a candle to similar apps that do nearly the same thing, only more gracefully.

Bottom Line: Considering it's a movie promo app, Hunger Games: Girl On Fire is reasonably fun and worth downloading to kill time on your commute.
