I have many different uses for my Android mobile. I use it to entertain myself, keep up to date with the news, socialise and a hundred different other uses. One thing I have never used my Android for is education. Kristie Haller has written a great list of 3 apps than can help you if you are student or a teacher.

Wapedia – Best Android Apps to Access Wikipedia

Free Version: 1.6.1 Taptu

Want to access Wikipedia from your phone with just one tap? This Android app makes it easy to explore the pages of Wikipedia and mark where you’ve been with bookmarks and a history file. This is truly a best Android app to navigate Wikipedia, and all the pages and headings are laid out nicely on your phone’s screen.

Wapedia remembers the page you were reading last, so you can pick up your research where you left off.

INFORMATION OVERLOAD: Wapedia lets you instantly jump from the top of a long document to the bottom. You can set a preference for how much of a page you want to load at once, and from there you can move up and down the page with arrows and intuitive navigation. This app works with other wikis, so in case you exhaust the 3 million+ articles on Wikipedia, there’s tons more for you to browse.

SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE: If you find something wonderful, this app will let you share it quickly. Click on the Share link and you will be prompted to share via email, Facebook, or Twitter, or to open the link in a browser. Sharing ideas with friends and colleagues is a great way to strengthen social bonds and keep a conversation going. So go ahead and find, read, and share with this great resource.

Quickpedia

Free Version: 1.0.7 Next Mobile Web

Quickpedia is a simple Android app with a straightforward interface for all uses. You are given the options of Search, Featured, Popular, News, and Nearby. When a Wikipedia article is displayed on your screen, the app provides you with the options to use a Bigger Font or Smaller Font, Send to Friends, or Send to Self. You can save your email address in the settings for quick mailing in the future, and navigate to the home page by pressing the menu key and then tapping Home. You can also refresh the article, which lets you read it even when you’re offline.

FEATURED AND RANDOM: This Android app can take you to a randomly selected article, or you can view the articles that are currently being featured on Wikipedia. Quickpedia is relegated to honorable mention status because it does not allow you to bookmark your favorite articles.

Droid Dictionary – Best Dictionary App for Android

Free Version: 1.4 Webcipe

This Android app is a simple front end to definitions, wikis, and thesaurus entries. It includes a useful “speak” icon that will pronounce the word you are looking at. If you download the Droid Dictionary Plugin ($0.99) from the Market, you can also save your words and definitions with this app.

    I own an iPhone 3GS but i wanna use Android Apps. Is there any app which will help me to install Android Apps on iPhone?

      No, sorry. There are hacks which let you install Android and then choose Android or iOS when you turn on your phone. However, those methods require a bit of work and I am not sure if they work on the 3GS. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!

    One really cool app that you’re missing (probably because it was just released) is GradeWizard. It lets you track and predict your grades and GPA for your entire academic career. A must-have for anyone concerned about their grades.
