Love your Android but still suffer from iOS app envy? Look no further, Froyo fanboys, for here are eight apps that prove Android is a killer platform no matter what the Apple snobs say. Most of these little wonders aren't available in the iTunes App Store, so go ahead and bleed green without a hint of jealousy--you've got the Google hive-mind on your side.

ooVoo for Android

This Skype competitor has over 20 million users already, and lets you do most of the video and voice calling you need for free. If you're willing to shell out a few cents for ooVoo "credits," you can simultaneously video or voice chat with up to six other ooVoo users -- all over 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi. Take that, FaceTime.

Chrome to Phone

If you're constantly emailing stuff to yourself, it's time to get with the program. This Google-made app allows you to transfer text, maps, phone numbers and links from the Chrome browser directly to your phone, and visa versa, so you can work seamlessly between Mac, PC, and Android.

Apps to SD Card

This ingenious little app is built for Android power users who want to cram more apps onto their phone, or move apps between Android phones and tablets. It allows you to install apps directly on your microSD card, giving you control over which apps reside on the phone itself, and which are removable -- perfect anyone who swaps SD cards or devices frequently, or wants to be able to remove certain apps from their phone for security reasons just by taking out the card.

EasyTether

EasyTether is one of the most flexible and robust apps for sharing your phone's broadband connection with your PC. But before we trumpet its talents, let's get the bad news out of the way: EasyTether requires a USB cable connected to your PC, and it's Windows only, making it an asset only for true anti-Apple purists. Now the good news: this app supports Internet tethering with a ton of phones, including HTC EVO, LG Ally, Moto DROID, Droid X, Milestone, Nexus One, HTC Hero, HTC Desire, HTC Dream, MyTouch, T-Mobile G1 and other Android 1.5+ devices. Oh, and you can even tether your PS3, XBox or Wii using EasyTether, and built-in HTTPS support means all your data flows through your phone securely.

FireKeys

FireKeys is essentially the same as AutoText on BlackBerry: it allows you to type short combinations of letters which are auto-expanded into full phrases or words. (Example: typing "cyp" will expand to "could you please.") Once installed, it lets you type in shorthand in any app you please, and includes a predictive system that learns your new shorthand quickly and works with several languages. If typing a few letters is still too much work, you can speak your abbreviations to FireKeys and have it automatically expand and transcribe the text.

Google Voice Search for Gingerbread

Google's uncannily accurate voice search gets even better in its newest version of Android, Gingerbread, offering screaming-fast transcriptions in all parts of the OS, whether you're searching, texting or composing an email. Thanks to Google's recent acquisition of voice-recognition startup Phonetic Arts, this app is bound to get even better in 2011: Phonetic Arts specializes in text-to-speech software, meaning that future iterations of Android will be able to talk back to you in a real human voice. Next time some iOS fanboy prattles on about the superior iPhone keyboard, bust out Voice Search on your Google Nexus S and watch his jaw fall off.

YouTube Remote

Another in-house app by Google, YouTube Remote turns your Android phone into a controller for YouTube Leanback, the iteration that comes with most smart TVs. YouTube Remote lets you search, queue and comment on videos directly from your phone while playing them on your big-screen TV, something that AppleTV fans can only dream of.

Roamin' for Facebook

Here's a problem you never knew you had: keeping track of your friends' Wi-Fi passwords. Roamin' for Facebook lets friends enter their Wi-Fi network credentials, so you never have to ask them for a password again. More anti-social Android users can use it poach their friends' Wi-Fi from the street without so much as ringing the doorbell.
