cool apps to get?

[jazzyjacks]

Hi all, first... totally new to android forums and an android, but excited to chat. I was wondering if anyone knows of any cool apps to download? I was looking at the #1 featured app on Android store which is HealthTap right now. Kind of an interesting concept--you ask a real doc your health question and get an answer back... for free! I liked the idea of it. Does anyone have any advice on other apps to get??

I would be slightly hesitant to use an app like that just because how do you know the person you are talking to is really a doctor?

But some of my favorite apps:
GoSMS
Tasker
LauncherPro Plus
Slacker Radio
Pulse
Zinio
eBay
WeatherBug
Redbox
And many more...

Hey-- thanks for the tips.

Yeah... I was worried about the doctor thing too so I looked into the company just in case. They verify all doctors I guess!

Those chat apps look awesome though, thanks!
