Last week, Microsoft announced the "Switch to Windows Phone" apps. Now you can pick them up in both the Google Play Store, and the Windows Phone Store. The apps are geared towards helping Android users make the switch to Windows Phone a lot easier by finding the same or similar Android apps on Windows Phone.

Are you thinking about switching to Windows Phone and want a convenient way to migrate your app experiences over? Look no further, Windows Phone has an app for that! Use Switch to Windows Phone to see how many of your Android apps are available on Windows Phone. Just run Switch to Windows Phone on your Android, and this app will check to see if your installed apps are available in the Windows Phone Store. It's that easy.

Then (if you choose) Switch to Windows Phone can save your results so you can retrieve them later on your new Windows Phone and install the apps. You don't need to remember every app you had on your Android, and you download only the apps you want.
