List of apps that only work in 1.6 and above

[mjschmidt]

As Canadian customers of Rogers Wireless are now being screwed out of the 1.6 update for our HTC Magic and Dream, and LG Eve phones, we will not be able to run apps that require version 1.6 or above.

We are trying to help Rogers understand why we need this update, as they seem to be having difficulty wrapping their heads around the idea that these are not just phones, but are rather more like little computers.

Since in many cases we can not even see apps in the market place that aren't supported by our phones, it is difficult to provide Rogers with a concise list, so I am hoping everyone in the forums can help me to compile a list of the apps that ONLY work with 1.6 or above.

For example, I know of the following:

- Google Goggles
- Fresh Face (newest version)

Thanks in advance for your help!

(Carrr Matey still seems to be available for 1.5. I am running it now, and I can see it in the MP)
