Android Apps

Can anyone recommend me some android apps? I've got ESPN already. Looking for a stock market watcher. And anything else you guys might find useful.

Got FTE bookmarked too.

I have a runner app that I like. I also have a sudoku app that keeps my brain functional. The only other 2 that I really like (so far) are the shop savvy (scans the bar code and finds the best prices) and slacker radio apps.

I have adobe reader for those all-too-common attachments, amazon kindle so I can read a book anywhere, Compass because I am directionally challenged, GPS status---see above, Latitude (did I mention my direction issues?), gstrings which I use to tune my mandolin, Navigation (you may see a pattern here), smart measure for practical reasons, US Traffic to keep out of jams when traveling, and advanced task killer that helps keep the battery from running too low. I also have stopwatch & timer for fun and screenlight as an OK flashlight in an emergency.

I downloaded GPS status last night. Did you get the free one? Or did you get the pay one? Or did they ask you to donate for the free one?

Angry Birds will make you angry

Google skymap is neat...

built in google maps is better than our garmin gps...
now that we have the Android tablet, who needs the phone OR GPS

there was a flashlight app I put on the wife's - runs the battery down, but would rather her feel safe and she does have chargers for her incredible at work, home, and in car...

I just downloaded MyFitPal on my phone. It's a calorie counter with a pretty big database. It allows me to input my food intake (including coffee), and my exercises. It really helps you to be more conscious of what you're eating.

My contract is up in a while and I'm thinking about springing for a Droid.
