Considering its the most viewed blog over on the old one, I think it would be good to port it over to this.
I’ve been meaning to do this for quite a while actually , its been another of the many ideas that have been swirling around in my head. Plus seen as I now actually know someone who has a Android phone why nott
In the beginning I was only going to do my top five Android apps but that leaves far too many great ones out so its expanded to 10 and even that leaves some good ones out but then i guess that shows how good the Android market is, to ape Apple there really is a app for everything…
1. Babbler - http://www.babblerforandroid.com/
I found this on the market just the other day. Its a Facebook app that uses the facebook API so its more than a reskinned mobile site, in fact its probably the best Facebook app there is, Probably be even better than the offical Facebook app thats in the pipe.
Two versions a free add supported verison and one at #1.29
2. Google Places Directory http://sites.google.com/site/placesdirectory/
The first of three Apps from Google. This one being a must have. It basically finds you the nearest of any type of shop – It does alot more than that but tis the easiest way to describe it. Its always being used on mine even more so when I’m in somewhere new to find a Starbucks. Google maps helps as well. As with all Google apps its free.
3.Twidroid - http://twidroid.com/
Number three is a Twitter app. The best in the store again. Does everything you would expect from a twitter app. Let’s you post video and photos as well as RT and all the rest of Twitter. Free as well.
4. Google Voice Search -http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2009/02/search-with-your-voice-on-android.html
This is cool and useful. Its what it sounds like. Being a app that let’s you search Google and the rest of the web with nothing more than your mouth. Recongises Manc accents as well.
5. Robo Defence - http://lupislabs.blogspot.com/
The only game on the list which makes it a decent game. That plus the fact that I’ve just downloaded the full paid version. If you don’t want to spend $2.99 then you don’t need to the free version would take weeks to complete. Its a game where you have to stop the robots getting across the screen, easy it sounds but its challenging and addictive at the same time.
6. Shazam http://www.shazam.com/music/web/pages/android.html
The app for working out what any piece of music is. Can’t work out who sings a song shazam it. Just don’t let anyone see the embarrassing tracks
7. Last.fm http://blog.last.fm/2009/01/23/lastfm-on-android
So you’ve found out who sings the song. Now listen to it on Last.fm its pretty much the same as last.fm for the computer. So you can listen to pretty much most music on your phone. Best used on a decent 3g or Wi-fi signal though. Free it is also.
8. Hi Msn http://uk.androlib.com/android.application.com-himsn-Cqn.aspx
Well its Msn messenger but for Android. And unlike webmessenger you can be doing other things and it will tell you when someone talks to you, and it won’t if they don’t.
9.Google Scoreboard http://palmaddict.typepad.com/palmaddicts/2008/12/google-scoreboa.html
Google’s Third entry in the top ten and this is a sports scoreboard, for most if not all popular sports…
10. Shop Savvy http://www.biggu.com/apps/shopsavvy-android/
Its an app that compares the prices of things by scanning the barcode and then shows you prices on a map.
