Can you download Google apps with a Windows Phone?

Simply what the title asks...

Short answer: No

Long answer: Sure, you can download APKs (android application files) if you find one on a website, but you cannot install or run it on a Windows Phone.

Correct me if I am wrong but I read you can sync Google to access it. I may be wrong though.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your initial question. You can add your Gmail account using IMAP but that limits your functionality somewhat. MetroMail is reviewed as a good way to handle Gmail on Windows Phone as well. But the answer is that there's no first-party (ie, from Google) support for Google accounts on Windows Phone.

Also, this is an Android specific forum. There is a sister forum that covers Windows Phone.
