Yes, you read the thread title right. Found this on theultralinx.com...
GetJar is offering over 100 paid Android apps for free! To compete against Google’s 10 Billion App Downloads promotion and Amazon’s “One Paid App for free everyday“, GetJar has come out with its own offering which is better than both the Google’s official Android market and Amazon’s app market.
Usually when offers like this come about the apps are quite crap, this is not the case with GetJar’s deal. Some notable apps which are being offered for free are Paper Camera, TweetCaster Pro, They Need To Be Fed, Splashtop Remote Desktop and more.
All you have to do to access the free apps is download GetJar for your mobile by hitting this url into your mobile phone browser - m.getjar.com/gold
You can check out all the apps available here - GetJar have very nicely laid out all the apps on a side-scrolling type page.

Have fun downloading!
Some things to know for getjar.
If you install the getjar.apk which is only 130kb, it will run as service and take up to 7MB of RAM. That's why I install getjar, download and install the app I want and just uninstall getjar afterwards.
You won't be able to update those apps via market, which seems fair to me, as those paid apps are free.
MIUI 1.12.16 Milestone XT720
i just freeze getjar whenever i don't use it, it always eats up RAM with its background advertising service

So what does this site give us that freewareppc.com (and the openmarket application) don't?
Now getting ads in apps such as Angry Birds and Diversion to name a few on my DROID X2. Any advice on a substitute app to prevent ads or maybe a fix for AdFree Android! Thanks in advance!
If you're rooted and willing to pay for an app, get Absolute System Root Tool. I think it's like $2.99. It has a ad blocking service, and to me it works great. Never have ads in games or in browser. Has more features like a font gallery, where you can choose another system font, same with bootanimations, and more.

They both use pretty much the same way of blocking ads--the hosts file. You gotta keep in mind that not all ads are going to be blocked. That's just not going to happen. App developers know that there are solutions like AdFree, and so they use new ad servers, or use different methods of getting the ads across.
Think about it this way: You're a dev, you create a new free app and put it on the market, you want to make a little money from it because it took you 50+ hours of hard work, so you put ads in it, and put an Ad-Free version on the market for $.99. If you don't like the ads in Angry Birds, shell out the $.99, but don't complain because you are getting something for free....

+1 (I just bought Absolute System Root Tool)
These "apps" are usually cents, not normally more than a few dollars. If the ads get the devs a bit of beer money, I am okay with that, thank you for a good app. If there is an ad-free version, I will buy it, thank you for a great app.
Thanks for all the feed back, the advice has been great and very useful.

Amazon.com also has an android app store. You will have to download the apk to install. All the details are on the website. I like it because it saves all of your apps on your account. When switching phones, once you enter you Amazon user name and password, poof all of your apps can be downloaded. Also Amazon gives you a free paid app every day.
On the Android market only paid apps are saved in your account. When downloading from the android market use the apps at the top of the search results and the ones with lots of user feedback. Those are generally safer.

lol... You are mentioning the rules before verifying the info. He said paid apps, not paid apps for free. In 1mobile, you will have to pay for paid apps
apitode and black market is best
Aptoide is very good.
Hello
I know that I must wear a condom while surfing the net and installing apps to keep safe but is Google.Play the only safe place to visit for Android Apps?
Or are there other good, and safe places to download free and paid for apps?
I only ask as an app I bought from the Android Market, which changed to Google.Play is no longer on the site. However the app can be found in a place called AndroidPit. I can't find any reviews of this site and I don't know if I can trust them with my credit card details.
google play is the safest and cant tell about other "unofficial" alternatives,
but to browse apps appbrain is good but when you want to download something it forwards you to google play.. there is some plugin for appbrain which enables web download but i never tried it cause i m happy with google play
1mobile.com is a decent site, you can download the vast majority of free apps. Doesn't have any paid apps though. If you're in the US, Amazon App Store is probably a reasonable alternative.

I do not recommend market alternative ,if you want to play safe applications.
Google Play at least when it is discovered malware is deleted (even remotely).
Alternative market of this assurance level do not have it ..
Actually getjar.com is good, its how I get tapatalk free and its a reputable site so should be safe

app brain fast web install plugin works flawlessly , and i think app brain is a good choice/alt,
sometimes smoother than goo play
Google Play is far and beyond the best and safest place to find apps, including apps up to date.
how to download removed purchased apps

if you still have the direct link to your paid app, there is a high chance it is still available in the market, even if the developer and google says other wise!
I had a similar situation for an app called pzizz which was apparently removed from the market due to changes in the company that makes it,
neither the new management nor google told me it still exists,
I managed to download it though by accessing the market from my pc and downloading it.
this could happen only if
you have the original link of the paid app ( you could not find the app by searching or browsing google play, you must have the original link)
you purchased the app before it is removed, if you didnt, the direct link for the app would not work, only if you purchased the app and signed in by the account in which the app was purchased you would be able to see the app
requesting to download the app from a computer, you cant do this directly from your phone and further when it is downloaded it will not be linked to the market
good luck
Why not Aptoide?

I saw your post and I had to reply. I worked for Aptoide, which is an independent android marketplace and they do a screening to the apps (at least the ones in their "apps" repository) so that they're free of malware. They were thinking of launching paid apps soon, but for now you have a lot of free apps that are safe to download.
Try it, maybe you'll be surprised!
What about slideme?
