You will probably already be aware of some of the excellent apps available for the Google Android smartphone operating system, as used on the T mobile G1 and the HTC, but did you know there were a lot of cool games too? Here is a run down of some of the free games available from the Android Market:

Bubblewrap - Not so much a game as a diversion, Bubblewrap is, as the name suggests, a bubblewrap simulator, which turns your expensive, state of the art mobile phone into a small piece of fairly worthless bubble wrap packing insulation.

It even vibrates when you pop, giving you the tactile sensation that you require for a truly satisfactory bubblewrap experience.

Charlene Beachside Blackjack (aka CB Blackjack) - A neat, visually appealing Blackjack simulator, which you can play with either the trackball or the touchscreen.

CB Klondike - The best version of the old PC classic, Solitaire, yet released for the Android, the only disappointment being that the drag and drop problems that are present with all touch screen devices make this a bit tricky to play.

Charlene Beachside Reversi (aka CB Reversi) ...
... - A classy adaptation of the classic Othello board game, controllable either with the trackball or the the touch screen. There is also a two player mode, and a helper mode for beginners.

Coloroid - The aim of the game in Coloroid is to turn the whole screen one colour by choosing adjacent colours for your swelling mass to adsorb from a list at the side of the screen. Recommended.

Divide and Conquer! - If you have ever played the classic mobile game Trap before, then you will know how to play Divide and Conquer, which is basically the same game, but given the touch screen smart phone treatment. The aim of the game is to segregate a certain proportion of the screen from some deadly bouncing balls by drawing lines with your finger.
Vodafone offer a huge range of mobile phones and price plans. If you like smart phones, you will love the HTC Magic with its fast internet for express browsing and downloads.
