Favorite App so far.... Developers please see link to Announcements above.

I can't pick one fave but can get it down to three:

Smart Keyboard - because apart from being accurate and responsive, you can hide the (superfluous IMO) voice and full stop buttons to give you a longer spacebar. As a direct result of this app I no.longer.type.everything.like.this or get the voice pop up half way though a text :)

Gentle Alarm - so many options I never even knew I needed! The pre-alarm really works, the slowly increasing sound is lovely to wake to, and the captcha puzzle ensures I really am awake when I stop hitting the decreasing snoozes. Also 100% reliable over last 6 months.

Shazam - No more frustration of hearing a snippet of great music and trawling the net for a half heard lyric. And it really works! I have discovered new bands though it upon hearing a random track on a tv show or in a shop. As an alternative music lover this is especially useful because these tracks don't come on the radio all the time. Love it!

It's a paid app but very inexpensive, and there's a free trial version that you can use for as long as you like, it just doesn't work on Wednesdays. It can take a few days to get the settings perfect for you because there are so many timing and volume options, but it gives you lots of tips through the set up process, and it's well worth the effort. I can't imagine using anything else now! :D

Old post I know but I would like to share my thoughts. I love the app...when it works. Sometimes the original lock screen will show up, or if you mess up on the pattern lock it will revert to the original lock screen instead of reverting to goto screen. I wasn't going to buy it, until I noticed they had it on sale. I can live with the problems, just hope they get fixed.
 
My favourites are..

Opera mini
JUICE defender
Advanced task killer
Chomp sms
Any cut
App 2 sd
Screen filter
Timeriffic
Tasker
Tunewiki
Raging thunder 2

I love Gentle Alarm. Really saved my ass this morning, actually. I was trying to get up on 3 hours of sleep for work, and instead of waking up to that loud buzzing, woke up to the quiet sound of the phone. Also, couldn't do the dismiss pass code for the life of me until I was completely awake, so i never went back to sleep. Lol

Locale - this app is very cool. I have a profile for work, home, my parent's house and a default setting for when none of those are active. Oh and I have one for night time. I get to work and it turns the volume down a bit, changes my 'desktop' image, turns of the wi-fi (so the security guys don't bug out), and it changes my ringtone and volume. At home the Wifi goes on, pictures changes, volume goes up etc. At night I have it turn of all network stuff besides the phone istelf and mutes the sound. It's great. Love it!

Sounds great. What if you work at home like I do? LOL.

I saw that yesterday too, looks really good. I have no need for a music player since I found Audio Galaxy though. I love not having to keep music on my card taking up space.

doing what it said in increasing my battery life ... i already have the extended batt in my DINC so the program took the extend batt as it increasing the life i turned it off and saw no difference in batt performance what so ever

Ah ok. Well I'm guessing the app must work on the basis of a fully charged standard battery - maybe try contacting the developer and suggesting a "battery type" setting to accommodate your situation?

They're currently pushing out beta updates every couple of days at the moment!

yeah i already did that but i still have not herd anything back from them yet
 
I LOVE Aquarium Donation Live wall paper. It really is beautiful! I had a little learning curve with the settings but finally got it right. Also, it doesn't drain the battery nearly as much as I expected it to.

The other app I am enjoying a bunch is: Smart Keyboard

The ability to talk your text messages is amazing and I can't believe how well it picks up what I am saying. I love it!

Power Amp is another really good one that helped to amplify the sound on my somewhat lacking Huawei Ascend.

These are my favs so far, not to mention Zedge, Music Box etc. (Oh I guess I did mention them! LOL)

;)
