I own an HTC G2 Android phone. Overall I have been pleased with it and it seems to be getting better every day as new apps are added to the marketplace. The Digg app is no exception. 

I visit Digg often and up until now I was forced to use the browser on my phone. To be honest, the Digg site doesn’t render terribly well on my phone, but it is useable and it’s not so bad that it makes me not want to visit. 

As soon as I saw the announcement that an Android app was being released today, I jumped on it and I am not disappointed. Many apps overpromise and undeliver, but not this one. Now Digg is easy to read and fits beautifully on my phone. And best of all, it fit exactly into my price range – free!

The app is missing some features, like not being able to save articles, and you can’t share articles on Facebook or Twitter. On the upside, you can read articles in landscape mode, which can make reading much easier. 

The biggest downside (if you want to call it that) to Android is that high quality apps like this one have been slow coming out. Of course this makes sense as developers have focused on the more popular Iphone, but it nice any time a company shows a little love to those of us willing to live on the fringe with Android phones. 

As Android phones grow in popularity, I hope more companies and developers will build quality apps that make the Android experience better.
