Android Apps

[Ashe]

I've got the Vibrant (the Samsung Galaxy S, T-Mobile version) and its pretty sweet. I've had zero problems with this phone and love the shit out of it. There is a 4G version out since I bought mine, has a front facing camera and a few other features that really should have been on the original, but not enough difference to cause me to upgrade to it.

As far as apps go, there's one called "EasyMoney" for budgeting and finance stuff, but I haven't messed with it as much as I thought. I use the "Daily Briefing" app to check the news and weather daily. There's also a really cool Google Sky Map app, as well as Layar (a sorta Augmented Reality app using the camera). MTG Deck Forge is a good card program. My wife uses Paint Easy and SBMX for sketching on my phone. It comes with Swype, which I highly recommend you get, especially if you don't have a physical keyboard. Unblock Me is a fun as shit game. Zenonia is a great Secret of Mana style rpg with good controls. There's also Advanced Task Killer, which is a lot better than the standard Task Manager tool and your battery will love it. Finally, if you like sound when trying to sleep and don't have a computer nearby, Lightning Bug is a cool app to mix various white noise (like waves crashing, rain, lightning, birds, even traffic).

Also, Navigator (the main GPS app for driving somewhere) is very often used by me.
