Favourite Android Apps? was created by Chris CW
Always seems to be something someone knows about that I dont! So thought it might help to share some apps you know of

Heres the ones that stand out for me at the moment;

Barcode Scanner (will help on those app websites that do suggest programs via QRcodes)
Advanced Task Killer (will stop programs running all day by closing them down!)
Astro (helps with file managing etc)
Gesture Search (cos its cool)
Google Sky Map (cos its cool)
Last.fm (constant screaming music to your taste, will help discover new stuff)
Layar (cos its cool)
Google Maps (cos its a sat nav, although pointless with no signal)
Mixzing (more thorough than androids standard music player)
Shazam (just incase you need some music info!)
Speedview (can be useful in your car)
Talk (it will kick in... eventually, its just Googles version of Skype)
TTS Service Extended (handy for Google maps etc)
Voice Search (cos its cool)
Wheres My Droid (will help you find your phone even if its on silent, and even by GPS location!)

GAMES
All you need is...
Angry Birds
Moron Test
Paper Toss
Scratch Down
Solitaire

Plus Ive just starting looking into OBD II scanners, theres cheapo ebay jobbies from Hong Kong that have bluetooth built in to connect to your phone, then an app such such 'Torque' uses this to display real-time info about your car, even has head-up display options (put the phone on your dash, it lights up your windscreen). This is just being tested by a fellow celica owner at the moment, if it works, Im going to get one myself - all comes to less that £25!

Torque Android App Website - http://torque-bhp.com/
Bluetooth OBD II Scanner (being tested) - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 723wt_1139


ANYWAY, heres some app recommending sites too that get updated pretty often...

Yeah their handy except for the fact that I know where the speed cameras are locally, and if Im not local and dont know where the cameras are the chances are Im using my sat nav on the phone - so cant really run any of these too since they run off GPS

BUMP! Wanted to add these...

Dolphine Browser HD (versatile and customisable tabbed browser - alternative to the standard browser)
Pulse (good for news feeds from various popular blogs/mags - I used it for GamesRadar, Lifehacker, Engadget, Gawker, Gizmodo, Jalopnik etc)
Easy Filter (creates a blocklist for numbers you want diverting/avoiding)
Vlingo (IN-CAR APP: handy handsfree app for speech-orders including reading and replying to texts)
TiKL (basically turns your phone into a walkie talkie, uses data connection though)
Winamp (internet radio, music player)
TuneInRadio (internet radio, music player - bit of an alternative to WinAmp, good for local radio)
