Is there a way to download Android apps to my PC?
I want to download an Android app to look at what's inside, but I don't own an Android phone. Is there a way to download the file (I'm not sure of the name, on iPhone it's a .ipa) using just a PC?

Android apps are packaged as .apk files. Usually you would download them direct to the phone via Android Market, but you can Google for .apk files (or torrents of .apk files). You probably should make sure the app you're getting is a free one.
