I've just emerged from the stone age and got a "smart" phone. (Samsung Skyrocket) This thing is crazy. I'm not into the games so much, but what are the best/coolest/most useful apps out there? | ||

PassDroid - It stores usernames and passwords... it's a lifesaver! PDANet - It turns your phone into a modem for a laptop. Freakin' awesome! Worth buying the full version. Note Everything - I use this to record text and voice notes. Also has a basic drawing function. There's plenty more but those are the top 3. | ||

Uhhh...Wow! Thanks for the help. Speaking of help, Carbonsteel, you might want to find some for yourself before you hurt yourself.  | ||
| Brumbear |
what's an app? | ||

NavFree is pretty neat good for the price. Not the best searching, but the routing and display is pretty good, and it REALLY knows where all the roads are. I like the direction it's going as well. We shouldn't have to keep paying so much for map data now that GPS's are such a huge commodity. | ||

Ziptab, I felt the same way until I played around with one. There are a million uses for one of these things. Has anyone tried to put ECM Spy on one of these things? | ||
| Ulynut |
I've been playing around with Clinometer. (Thanks Toona)Bad news. There is NOTHING plumb OR level in my entire house.  That Five Guys app may be used way more often than needed.  (Message edited by ulynut on December 04, 2011) | ||

I must be a cave man..........  What's this about smart phones recording all key strokes? Seems that would take a HUGE amount of space to store trillions of bits every minute of the day. | ||
| Froggy |
If you use instant messengers, Trillian is a must have. Also, get the Amazon App Store, every day they give away one paid app for free. Usually its crap, but sometimes they have something good, like a $20 Office Suite. Today is a good time killing Airport Mania game. I use a program called My Tracks, it sucks your battery like a vampire but it records everywhere you go, so you can keep track if where you have ridden and export to google maps and such.  Also, another must have, to see if your phone has that Carrier IQ crap that can log everything you do, download Voodoo Carrier IQ detector. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectv oodoo.simplecarrieriqdetector&feature=search_resul t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5wcm9qZWN0dm9vZG9vLnNpb XBsZWNhcnJpZXJpcWRldGVjdG9yIl0. | ||

Is there an app that will tell my wife that I'm still at work when I'm really in the pub? I reckon it'd more useful than one that tells her where I've been. | ||

| Froggy |
Yes. I have Google latitude, it lets my friends and family see where I am on a map. I can override it and say I'm in Canada if i desired. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
That's all very well, but would they believe you were in Canada? | ||
| Froggy |
Just like your wife will believe you are still at work. | ||

Out of Milk - shopping lists, just scan a package when you throw it away and it goes on your list Juice defender UlysseSpeedometer Yelp great for finding a place to eat on the road (maybe drink too) Google Maps | ||

Number Guru Use the contact group for telemarketers option. Couple that with a phone blacklist app, and none of the hundreds of numbers in that list can call you. | ||

SoundHound, it is a great app that lets you figure out what song is playing similar to Shazam, except it is totally free with no limitations. They have a paid version with a few more features and ad free, it is currently on sale for 10 cents, worth picking up! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.melodis. midomiMusicIdentifier&feature=apps_timed_promotion | ||

i hear smart phones are passe, now its super! phones. whats the averg fee for a super duper phone ? | ||

(on Android) Google Maps - most useful Facebook - one of the WORST apps by one of the largest domains on the web gStrings - an instrument tuner that is certainly passable though I'd not count on it for gigs Listen (Google) - podcasts have replaced radio for me | ||
| Froggy |
Well I thought it was just me that it didn't like! Their iOS and WebOS variants are fantastic, the Android variant is inexcusable. | ||

The Android version of Facebook is the reason I no longer frequent Facebook. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Facebook? they keep sending me email telling me that I have notifications pending, but they never say what I'm being notified about or what it's pending! I have a page but I can't truthfully say that I understand the point. | ||
