I have also listed the minimum firmware requirement beside each app. Also worthy of mention: all the apps below are FREE, that’s a good price.

See, Android is based on Linux and it’s very open. Theoritically, you could throw Android on anything and not really have to pay for it. But then there’s the Google Marketplace.
