It also employs Android 2.2 as its operating system. The combination makes more than 200,000 apps available. Since the $372 Galaxy does use Android, it opens the wide variety of Google applications to a user.

Samsung's Galaxy integrates much of Google's technology and offers one-touch access to many Google features such as Google Maps and Google Earth.
