    Just thought I'd chime in again; for radio listeners there's a really nice app made by ClearChannel called "iheartradio".

    I don't get decent radio reception at work and web-streaming over the company network is basically un-listenable due to port blocking and bandwidth issues, but I was able to listen to my favorite talk radio shows using this app.

    It took a bit of researching the available radio stations' lineups on the intarwebz, but I was able to locate the stations that carried the programs I wanted to listen to. No issues streaming over 3g. This app gets a total of three thumbs up. :thumbup:

    TweetCaster is another good twitter app.
    although I'm still kind of up in the air between that and Twidroid

    You guys should also try Seesmic, another Twitter app. I enjoy it because of it's multiple account access - and it's free!

    I love Lightning Bug. It's one of those soothing sounds apps, and comes with a handful of different scenes (storm, beach, etc). You can select from those scenes what you want it to play, and it includes a sleep timer which shuts off the sounds after a certain period of time. Free!

    Some of my favorites:
    I have tried Swift, Twidroid, and I have Twidget (which crashes a few times a day), but I really like Tweetcaster the best. And the best thing is they are all free!
    Beautiful Home
    Panda home for themes has worked great for me and also free!
    Mixzing music app
    Mabilio Ringtones
    Droid Coupons
    Google Sky Maps (so cool)
    Ringdroid
    Uninstaller

    I have blogged and reviewed this app elsewhere, but it is by far the best (and most needed) on my phone.

    Choice Dialer( http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-resounding-choicedialer-pro-wxjE.aspx)

    Makes the phone usable while mobile! True hands free (although not BT initiated). One tap on icon, give command "Call Jane Doe"...You will HEAR "Call Jane Doe at which number"...reply with "At mobile", and phone DIALS the number. No need for visual confirmation.

    I am using the Pro version ($3.00), and it works beautifully. Opens music ("Play music by Daughtry") will start you music. Opens applications on phone, and more...

    I had used the free version, and it worked fine, but since I Beta tested this (as did Scott...), the developer gave me a free copy of the Pro version. Favorite app by far, and necessary in NY!

    Trying a new one now called MapDroyd that lets you download maps ahead of time and use offline. The maps come from openstreetmap.org.

    Just got back from verizon store. New toy day! :D Anyway, he downloaded a couple of apps that should be useful. Data enabler and Restart connection. Data enabler allows you to disable data when not in use, so it will save battery life. Restart connection will reboot your data if you should be using 4G, but you are only getting 3G.

    There are many apps i like. But i like StealthGenie more. Because it is providing more facilities in mobile spying technologies. :)

    Erick, what exactly do you like so much about spying technology? In my opinion, while there are "good" applications of this there is also the opportunity to abuse it and humans, being what we are, the abuse will probably outweigh any benefit. The website posts this as examples of "good" applications:
    "...StealthGenie can be used to monitor kids and keep a track of their phone activities. For a worried employer facing trouble from an employee selling company’s secret to a rival firm, StealthGenie is what you need to save your business...."

    Admirable, but there are so many other applications that will damage relationships and that also border on criminal use. Unfortunately the software can be purchased by anyone who has the payment. I am repulsed by this technology being made readily available and I am actually surprised by how strongly I feel.

    I work in the security field and you would think I might look at this as great. I don't. In the right hands and application it can be useful. I also believe that while parents monitoring children or employers monitoring employees on phones that are paid for by the employer is a reasonable use I do, but only if the user is told the monitoring system is installed.

    Maybe I am mellowing with age......
