What are the other method to download android application ?

1.Directly from Note using 3G or WiFi

Is it possible to download from android market using PC ?

The Android Market (now known as Google Play) is an app store on your phone that would download apps directly (via WIFI or 3G) on to your phone.

The other way to do it is to log on to Google Play and find the app you want. From there, you can choose to install an app to your phone (this would then install via WIFI/3G).

If for some reason the market (Google Play) is not available to you, you might try other legitimate sources for apps such as the Amazon App Store or getjar.com. Please be very VERY careful if you choose to install apps from file sharing sites. Most of the time they do not have the developer's permission and therefore are violating the developer's copyright. They can also be intrusion vectors for malware.

If there are certain apps you are looking for and can't get through Google, let us know what they are and we can help you get them the right way.

As for installing the app from an .apk file, let's assume you have a file on your PC for the app you wish to install. Copy it to your note by plugging the Note into the PC with the USB cable and mounting it as storage. Once copied to the Note, unmount from the PC and use a file manager on the Note to find the file you just copied. Astro and ES File Explorer are two free file managers that work well. Tap on the file to install. If it fails, you need to go to settings>applications and enable installation from unknown sources.
