I just tried Dolphin HD since I haven't tried any new browsers lately. Really don't like it. Lets you change text size, but seems to only work on web pages, not any of the main browser windows (like bookmarks, and links). Too difficult to navigate (IMO). I'm sticking with Boat Browser.

Humm that's a first :(
 
Did anyone ever use Flash Game Player? I just came across Flash Game Box, sine FGP was removed from the market. Amazing app allows you to place keyboard input keys on the screen allowing you to play flash games flawlessly. I know Kongregate has an app, but armor games does not unfortunately. Plus they favor Iphones for some strange, unbelievable reason. So if playing flash games, downloaded or online is your thing check out Flash Game Box!

Also My Tracks has been ridiculously informative when wanting to know information about my hiking, bicycling, running, you name it!

The my HTC widget clock broke. No way im factory resetting this phone again. Had to once because market and gmail cease functioning. So I got Alarm Clock Plus, far better than the default alarm system. I also like how it acts as a clock on your phone when plugged in at night. You can dim it down to nothing or keep it bright, or do away with it.

Earthquake alert keeps me updated to worldwide earthquakes everyday. Japan gets smacked with like 5 5.0's every damn day. Has that always been the case? Crazy. Also Earthquake Alerter Beta can, and will, alert you to earthquakes in your designated radius. Simply amazing.

ScannerRadio came in EXTREMELY handy the other night. Combine with Trapster for full effect, Nuff said. As did Restroom Finder. For those, I cant hold it moments.
 
Not really an app but I'm really liking Google Chrome to Phone.

Sitting at your PC, you can send links, pics, web pages and copied text to your phone with one click in the browser and have them open automatically in the phone.

It's so convenient to browse the icon thread over at Xda forum, for example, and send the icon packs to my phone.
 
Chrome is da bomb! I like the text sizes. Cause I'm old! LOL Dolphin is good too, but the text doesn't always render right, on larger text. But both are really good. :)

Any recommendations for UK public footpaths - I hear the official OS app is poor and drains your battery like nobody's business!

I've been put off by the reviews of all the unofficial ones. Their requirement for a signal is also an issue. However I'd also be interested in any feedback on these sorts of apps.

Howver, I am toying with the idea of buying ViewRanger ViewRanger GPS | Home

The maps aren't cheap, but are on a par with other navigational software's maps (eg I think they're cheaper than garmin gps maps). There may be other companies out there who provide them, but I'd expect the maps to be a similar price, so it could come down to software performance. The best bit is that the map is on your sdcard (hence the price).

Anyone out there use ViewRanger, or similar?
 
Big fan of TuneIn, even with the ads. I have an FM transmitter I hook to the phone so I can listen to stations from all over the world in the car. It found nearly all the local stations (except one) and has a pretty extensive list of stations from all over the world. I even spent the 99
 
Favorite apps?

1. The GO lineup. I use GO Contacts, GO Launcher, GO SMS, GO Keyboard and GO weather.
2. SugarSync and DropBox. Seriously these are very convenient.
3. I like Dolphin, went away from it back to Opera when I couldnt find out how to sync/send my Chrome bookmarks to it, until I did, and now I'm back to Dolphin. That's the one thing Opera has better, native Sync to Opera on PC. I had to go a bit more roundabout way to send the bookmarks to Dolphin though. :) Its always been interface (Dolphin) vs sync (Opera).

No, it's not stalking at all, it's the sign of a good parent taking responsibility for their children.

I'm not trying to change the subject, but children don't have a right to privacy, especially from their parents, until they reach the ripe age of 18.

Either way, if I had a child old enough for a phone, that would be one requirement.

When your kids are old enough to leave the house and not have mommy and daddy tracking their every move, you will be a wreck.

Part of letting your kids go out and play in the neighborhood is to get you used to being separate from them. Having a phone to call you if they need something is not enough? In summers when I was a pre-teen, I would leave at 9am and come back at 6pm. My parents weren't bad parents...that is just how it worked with kids then.

People wonder why kids stay at home until they are 30 now. Well part of the problem is they never had the safety net removed from underneath them, and the parents are too used to holding the net.

As for apps:

K-9 Mail
Heaven's Above
Iridium Flares
Space Junk
Raindar
Weathergeek Pro
Weatherpro
Waze
 
New Here,

I thought I'd throw in a really really good app I've come across. If you mess with electronics as a hobby, or are perhaps a student in electronics engineering like myself. Electro Droid is by far a must have! It's great for a quick reference doing a lab in class, or even making your own cables up for just about anything.
 
I quite like OS Maps (uk). It shows the landranger maps for walking (highways, terrain, grid ref etc...) then zooms down to street maps. I've been bought up on OS maps so this is great. All I need now is some back pack mounted solar charging & could be out all day with it :)

Bing online mapping has OS - haven't tried their app yet, but looks to have mapping so fingers crossed...

Couldn't find an official one on market - which isn't a surprise. The two Bing ones I did try seemed not to have OS maps. I may have missed them or they may have been added since - this was a little while ago.

Anyway as reception is so patchy on the hill, I need cached OS maps, and I've not found one yet that does (there may be something in the usage license that prevents that, judging by the cost of the download maps).

Circle Launcher started to lag on me and the cute/novelty of it wore off on me, lol.
 
Yeah, I tried it for a day... cool, but not as versatile as a plain old icon to launch a folder (Auto App Organizer is great for that).
