I have arrived in the future! Or, I have a smart phone now and am wondering what apps you folks use/ recommend/ run from for Android.
So far I've got these I'm rather liking: - AVG's Antivirus for it's, well virus scanning stuffs, and the additional phone locator thingy (thought Motorola offer this too) - Bump for sharing media/ contact info between phones (also available for the iPhone, which kinda makes up for it's lack of blutoothyness). It's quite nice once you get the hang of it, and worth getting if you swap pictures and stuffs with others often. - Drop Box for up/ down loading content and sharing stuff. I find this particularly quick to use when sharing pics with the fella. - Last.fm I really like this app for listening to pretty much my entire music collection as well as other 'radio' stations, without having it all on my SD card. Though I mostly use it on wifi. -------------------- A society that takes itself too seriously risks bottling up its tensions and treating every example of irreverence as a threat to its existence. Humour is one of the great solvents of democracy. It permits the ambiguities and contradictions of public life to be articulated in non-violent forms. It promotes diversity. It enables a multitude of discontents to be expressed in a myriad of spontaneous ways. It is an elixir of constitutional health. J.

Thats all rubbish. You should download AIR HORN. It has multiple types of horn.
I also use: Advanced task killer Astrid (todo list) Beyondpod (podcasts) Camscanner (this just creates pdfs from photos but it does magic enhance like on csi) Kindle Pubtran (amazing public transport app including tubes) Tricorder Locale -------------------- Kung fu fighting from 25th April 2010

Aldiko is a pretty good little ebook reader. I've just finished The Invisible Man and have moved on to The Art of War. Free out of copyright books are going to do wonders for my lack of a classical education.
You may not need the task killer, apparently the newerversions of Android are fine without. |

I think it depends on the phone and how you're using it. Android doesn't close things until it runs out of memory, but my phone slows to a crawl long before then. This is on 2.1 (with a bunch of orange crap included).
