This week we’re hearing quite a bit about a couple of applications for iPad, one of which was created by the folks who were once going to bring you the Microsoft Courier – but what about Android?

That said, there are four apps out there at least that will bring you drawing power for the time being – with updates to each on the way soon, of course.
