The Android Apps Thread

[Pandaemonaeon]

There are so many Android apps that it's hard to keep track of some neat ones we've never heard of, so post away!

I'm looking for something similar to Mobile Defense since I cannot wait for it to re-open from closed beta. I wasn't impressed with the alternatives I've seen thus far (i.e. Lookout, Where's My Droid) which either have shoddy GPS tracking or lame SMS/codeword-centric functionality. So if you have something I don't know about yet, holler at your boy.

Anyway, some of the apps I'm using right now that I really love from left to right:



GOTO Android App
http://gotoandroidapp.com/
A really awesome screen lock app that notifies you of new messages, e-mails (Gmail only at this time) and missed calls while also displaying the time, date and weather.

SMS Popup
http://www.androidapps.com/t/sms-popup
Not really all that useful (especially for those that have mistresses ) but if you prefer to have a picture of your contact pop up along with a coordinating text message, then you'll love this.

Touiteur
http://levelupstudio.com/touiteur
There's like dozens of Twitter apps for Android and everyone has their own favorites from Twidroid to Seesmic, but personally I prefer Touiteur. I love reading my tweets in color coded fashion.

Your typical no-nonsense music player with scrolling lyrics interspersed on the screen. I use it to access online radio stations like Last.FM <3

PHOTOSHOP.COM MOBILE ANDROID APP

http://mobile.photoshop.com/android/

Made by Adobe, this seems to be a modified, barebones version of Photoshop. It will allow you to edit, save and share your photos right on your mobile device. The bigger the screen of your phone, the easier it is to use this program.

Guys,

I am planning to buy Galaxy S as soon as ma-offer na sya sa Samsung stores (1st week of august DAW). well actually torn pa rin ako between galaxy S and iphone 3GS.

all of my friends eh naka iphone and meron silang nakukunan ng free full version ng games and apps. sa Android ba meron din nakukuhanan na free full version ng games and apps? and can you guys say na magaganda naman games and apps ng android compared sa mac OS?

thanks!
