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

GDE home app is, IMO, one of the best, if not the best home alternative app out there. When I say the best I mean it with regards to the smoothness and stability of it. Way more stable than any other home app.

NewsRob is another that I can't live without.
 
Thank you very much wingstrings, i really appreciate your comment. I'm trying to put everything I have into this project. Hopefully like you said, people will recognize it as a legitimate source for great rated apps and its reputation will define it.

CardioTrainer has my vote.

Out of all the apps I downloaded (God knows how many hours of sleep I've been losing playing around with that phone), I found CardioTrainer one of the most impressive programs on the Android. The current recession has left a bit of a dent in my wallet, and I wasn't really interested in paying for any applications (Buying the G1 was my self-made promise not to spend any more money this year on non-essentials), so CT being free made it a lot easier for me to dl and use.

Of course, just being free wouldn't be enough to make me like a program, but it at least allowed me to try it. Also, being a fit freak, I installed the program and took it for a spin. Its pretty cool in that it utilizes GPS technology and Google Maps in order to pinpoint exactly where I am running. It's also got voice commands, a race against yourself option (which I find probably the most useful part of the app), and best of all, its all in my phone so I don't have to drag a crapload of hardware around with me. When I'm done with my run, I can then check out my stats and route which is uploaded on their website, www.worksmartlabs.com/cardiotrainer/about.php

Doesn't " My Tracks" by Google do this very same thing?:D If not what is different?

I agree.. frequent updates, allows texting to groups, recent and whole contacts list as you browse.

Many other tweaks too... like changing freq and color of led etc.

voice to text.

Also allow long texts and puts in 160 character clumps and then sends whole message seamlessly.

Very Cool App indeed.....just wish they would up the limit size on sending audio files. I have been able to send audio files with every phone I have ever had and it's very discouraging to say the least. If they can't do it then I just hope this alledged Dec. 11th update will fix this issue.:D

haven't tried My tracks yet.. just installed "a2b" last night.. you will need the accompanying app called "radar" to get the radar feature to work...

but its pretty stinking cool.. especially the radar. I sat my location on my living room couch and went walking and then driving and now that I'm at work today.. it still works!
Tells me exactly how many feet, yards, or miles I am from my location.
I can view a satellite "not up to date" or maps and it has a compass that shows continual readout of direction of you location.

Remember to turn gps off if your not going to need it.. it sucks a fair amount of juice when its all running. You can turn it off and when you turn it back on if finds everything again.

settings----->
Go into Factory Messaging---> menu--->settings---> uncheck notifications.
Now Handcent will do all the notifying.
 
The Dolphin Web Browser is my favorite app. This latest update that supports multi-touch got me to try it, but it's much, much more than just multi-touch that makes it an upgrade over the Droid's stock browser.

Any negatives to using it over Droids stock browser?

I like Dolphin browser over the stock browser, but force closed way too much.
 
ah... your right.. just the two touch makes the whole browser worthwhile... way cool!

I'm a FF fan.. this is the closest it gets so far.

What is the two tocuh feature?

I love FF too. Can't wait until official FF browser comes out.
Click to expand...


Its a free download... check Dolphin browser out.

I've been playing with it the last 30 min and I'm very impressed so far.

The two finger touch feature is when you take two of your finger.. like your pointer finger and thumb and put them together and touch the screen... once you touch, spread them apart and you get instant zoom in function.... do just the opposite... spread them apart and touch the screen with both of them and then squeeze then together and you get zoom out.
You can still scroll right and left with one finger too.
With the powerful resolution of the Droid you can really zoom up really quick and then back out.

It doesn't work on pages where you are already seeing the full page.. only on pages that have a larger resolution than the Droid carries.

I can't find the Guitarists Reference? Where and what is it?
Click to expand...

Sorry: Guitarist's reference. Have to spell with ' in the market search. Has a lite and pro app. This is a guitar app with chords, scales, etc for learning and playing guitar.
I am also trying Robotic Guitarist Free now. Has a tuner and metronome.

So I downloaded Meetro DC from the Market for my Droid... and it rocks if you are in the District a lot.

It tracks ALL the DC Metro trains. Accurately so far as I can tell too! So today I could tell before I got off my MARC train exactly how fast I had to haul it to the subway without just missing the train :D

Love it!

Just downloaded it, if it works like you say, it will be a lifesaver.
