Where is a downloaded .apk placed in Android phones? I want to backup the .apk files to my PC so that if something happens I will just restore the applications instead of re-downloading them from market.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S II.
If you don't have root access, it doesn't matter because you won't be able to back them up.

If you do have root access, use an app like Titanium Backup to back up the apks.

Note:

This doesn't really answer the question of where to find the downloaded APKs, but it does address the need of the OP.
