I don’t remember all of the great apps I have downloaded, but here is a rundown of the ones I find most useful. I intend to keep this post updated when I find cool new apps. If you know of an Android app, that is really cool, or that you can’t live without, please list it in the comments!
Linda – file manager
Google Voice (but only if you have a GV account – which I have invites) – look online for what this does, it basically allows you to control all your communication (we’ll see if Verizon blocks this – iPhone does – VRZN said they wouldn’t)
ACast – podcast aggregator
SavvyShoppper – comparison shop products by bar code
MissedCall – changes LED based on type of notification (SMS, VoiceMail); fully configurable
Barcode Scanner – read all sorts of different barcodes (including 2D)
MyTracks – not sure if it is relevant for you; good for running or hiking; keeps track of distance travelled, and speed, elevation gain etc; good for keeping track of workouts (From Google)
Scoreboard – for sports fans, gives you notifications of sports scores (From Google)
USA Today – news
Facebook – they have an official app
Twidroid – my favorite Twitter App (but I don’t use Twitter that much, so I may not be the person to endorse this).
Shazam – identify any song by “listening” to it; tells you song information
Pandora – internet radio
Layar – augmented reality puts information on top of the map (or streetview) with tons of different information; This is just the beginning of this sort of app, this sort of functionality will be huge in the future
Locale – change phone settings based on location; kind of buggy but when it works, it is great
3Banana – list manager (integrated with website to keep lists on phone and web)
