Droid What are your favorite apps?

A few of mine:

-guitar tuner
-a level
-navigation

What else does everyone use?

My favorite apps so far are:

PDANET access internet on laptop at anytime from phones connection

Youmail like visual vm only better, fully customizable vm for contacts

Last Fm client similar to slacker or pandora only better bc it plays songs, artists you select and only those artists and songs not "similar to" artists that you choose

Google Maps Navigation

Countdown board is a nice app to see a widget to see how many days left til my wedding

Sportstap so i can see what my fav teams are doing and updates in the games.

Astro file manager so that i can move files around the phone easily.

Coinflip is a fun program for games and such

Google Voice app is a must virtual phone number for those of you that dont know

Palringo IM client links all your accounts like gmail, facebook, aim, aol, yahoo, etc...

Qik for streaming live videos and than watching later. for example your wife has a baby you film it on your phone and tell people that cant be there to go to qik.com/(your user name) and they can see it live or watch it later.

Shazam for finding the name of that catchy tune at the bar, in the car, or in the club.

Weatherbug so i always know the temp outside to "my location"

Shopsavvy for times im in the store and know there is a cheaper price for this item somewhere else or for a store that "guarentees lowest price" i scan the barcode of the item the app than finds that items price in other "local" locations and on the web. The local part of this app is still building its library of items so give it time this app will be even more amazing.

Thats all i got for now haha, im sure ill have alot more later on. Did alot of research leading up to launch day so had some time to find all these apps prior to getting the droid on launch day.

Yeah i dont use them for the transcriptions just for the cool voice customization in youmail, reason i have google voice is for my business

Have had the phone less than 24 hours, but so far like:

- Quick Settings, which allows you to see and easily adjust the status of the ringer, bluetooth, wi-fi, network data xfer, and GPS receiver from one place

- Flexilis, which allows you to GPS locate your phone and make it scream if you can't find it

- Places Directory, a database of nearby attractions (restaurants, hotels, etc.) similar to a GPS

- Skyscape (medical data/info)

- CardioTrainer, which keeps track of your path when running/walking/biking, estimates calorie burn, and uploads your tracks for reference or sharing

i already have around 40 apps installed on the phone. and that's not counting what was already installed on the phone, just what I've downloaded from the market.

May faves so far:

Nesoid, GameBoid & SNesoid (free lite, paid full) - i'm a huge fan of old nintendo games and those are usually the games i play on my mobile device. i've had NES emulators on all of the my smartphones. i bought all three.

Newsrob (free) - for Google Reader. Very cool.

Flixster Movies (free) - fantastic app for movie fans. great for finding movies in theaters and on DVD. you can watch trailers, see and read user and critic ratings and reviews, allows you to add movies to "want to see list" and post your own rating and review. integrates with facebook by automatically posting what movies you want to see and when you rate a movie. i love it!

Picsay (free, pro) - allows you to do some minor photo editing, but the really great thing is that you can put word bubbles in your photos. also give you pinch to zoom multitouch on Droid. a must have to stick it to those iphone users. i bought this app.

Metal Detector (free) - crazy cool fun app turns your Droid into a real working metal detector. make sure you don't first run next to a computer. messes up the calibration. this thing really works. it detected the springs in my mattress. crazy. suck it iphone!

hope you enjoy!

Im loving this thread, so many ideas.

Keep scouring for good ones so I dont have to search!

TheMadJester - there's an NES emu app for Droid???
Oh my...I may just have to pick this bad boy up!
How does it work though?..is there a 'touchscreen' control pad or do
you play using the qwerty keyboard/d-pad?

yeah. the NES emulator works flawlessly. i'm still having some minor issues with the SNES and Game Boy emulators, but you can still play games.

you use the qwerty and it's great. you can assign whatever buttons you want to use. the only difficult thing for me is that on a real nintendo controller the d-pad is the left and the buttons are on the right. on the droid the d-pad is on the right and the buttons are on the left. it screws with my brain. so far that's the only hiccup, but that doesn't have anything to do with the app. it's well worth the $$ if you like playing mario and zelda. :dft011:tounge_out

Another App Store

i have also downloaded and installed the AndAppStore browser from http://andappstore.com/AndroidApplications/apps/!index

most of the apps i've seen are also available in the market, but there was one kick ass one i got called gTasks. it syncs your google tasks. it's pretty cool.

i will report back with other apps i find.

this app store was created in order to allow rooted android phones to access the apps because the android market would no longer be on the phone after rooting i guess. so you have to allow unknown source apps to install. i'll let you know if i run into problems like screw up my droid or something.

Good find Jester!

that's friggin awesome! is it the same PocketNester app?
I'm wondering if I can just copy over the PocketNester from my Q?
Will all the ROMs carry over and work too?

The ROM's will work however you may need a different emulator since android runs diff types of files.

Here is a listing of all the emulators there are in the link below.

http://www.androlib.com/r.aspx?r=nes emulator

Some are free some you need to pay for i personally am using the nestoid the free version and duck hunt on that thing rocks i like touching the screen and shooting down the ducks (shhhh dont tell animal rights :dft012:wink"

he's right. you'll need to at least download one from the market. but the roms will work. i just created a folder on my sd card called "nintendoroms" then inside that i have separate folders for each emulator "nes", "snes", "gba".

i don't know about the free version, but apparently the full version supports the light gun.

The free version does support the light gun at least thats what it says:
"New:
* Fixed crash on Android 2.0
* Light gun support. Enjoy duck hunt and more!"

but where do i plug it it!?

:dft002:zombie LOL dunno good question.

that is so sick!...thanks guys...hmm...I wonder if they're a Genesis emu on there too. SNES??...dang I couldn't even get that to work on my Q

so do the games play stretched in a wide mode or something?...or does the screen just cut off in the middle or?
