Step 1: Go to Settings, Applications, and check download apps from unknown sources. This will enable you to download third party apps not found in Market. You can download all these apps from the Internet Browser directly on your phone.
I'd recommend getting a Dropbox account and downloading Dropbox & Astro File Manager/ES File Explorer (any other file manager should suffice) on your phones.
Here's my referral for Dropbox (You and I get extra space!):
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTkwNzUxMDk
When you download the apk's use dropbox to store the apk files in the cloud. You will use the file manager of your choice to direct Dropbox where the file is located. This helps with having to re-install apps and avoiding having to search for them again. Dropbox is handy for a grip of other uses such as storing your class papers, pictures, presentations, documents, resume, etc.

How is the community doing?
With so many apps available in the android market (google play) I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread with peoples top 5 cant live without favorite apps.
You can include any app with the exception of games there is a separate thread for that already, just make sure to note free or paid after the app name. Maybe we can bring apps to light that not many people dont know exist but are great!
Ill start my top 5 cant live without apps are:
1. Teamviever - free - productivity app that allows me to remotely connect to computers and help others diagnose issues
2. Work shifts free - free - app that keeps track of worked hours, pay days, etc
3. eBay - free - app that allows me to buy, sell on ebay
4. Dropbox - free - great for backing up files or just having extra storage
5. XDA premium - paid ($1.49) - keeps me connected to xda while mobile

I personally use Google Reader to synchronize all my web/rage comics. With a little bit of effort you can find the rss feeds for nearly everything... After that, you can read them on your PC, cellphone, tablet, etc using an app of your choice (I personally really like this one).
The cool thing about this method is that everything gets synchronized across all your devices, so you always know what you've read and what you didn't. You also can add any other site of your choice other than rage comics. And finally, the average quality of Google Reader apps is much higher than dedicated rage comic apps, IMO.

I use sharepic, really good, but the button bar is really hard to click on, even with 4“ screen.
But it seems you got an SIII so that shouldn't be a problem.
Otherwise just get a fun site with an RSS stream and use a news app like Pulse or Taptu.
I really like Amuse -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amuse
You should really check this out.
