Three coolest apps to download free Wallpapers for Google Android phone - Best Wallpapers app

In last post I talked about how you can quickly replace the default android home screen and theme with fancy iPhone look alike theme. But you must have noticed that free themes comes with limited wallpapers and you may not like the ones which are there in the theme. This can be taken care by downloading cool and free wallpapers for your android using wallpaper apps. These free wallpapers can be used with your HTC, Samsung, Motorola or any other Android phone.

There are two kinds of wallpapers for Android, Image Background Wallpapers and Live Wallpapers. Image backgrounds are the traditional wallpapers which we know and "live wallpapers" are the new type of wallpapers which comes with animation effect and are interactive. I am going to cover traditional wallpapers in this post and I may talk about live wallpapers in some future posts but you can find and download cool live wallpapers from Android market today.

I am covering three of the coolest apps for free Android wallpapers in this series of posts. In this post I am talking about the first coolest wallpapers app and remaining two apps in coming posts.
