Must Have Android Apps

1. Shapewriter

Changed the phone entirely for me. Lots of other cute apps, but without this, my phone wouldn't see 1/10th the use it does now.
 
Wanted to add a couple:
Swype (beta) - More polished Shapewriter IMHO
Auto Task (Free) - Perfect for Profile setting based on Calendar entry.
Picasa Tools - A very nice integration with Web Picasa.
LastPass - For password mgmt.
 
O.K, I'll play...


  • I like "Where's my Droid" for when I can't find the damn thing....
  • "Mobile Defense" allows you to remotely lock it and delete everything in case it gets stolen.
  • "Metal Detector" cause it pisses off my buddy with his "Crapple"
  • "Wifi Analyzer". Very cool
  • "mp3Tunes" Allows me to upload my music to the cloud to stream it anytime.
 
Just configured HomePipe on my PC and EVO and I gotta say its amazing!! Doesn't Apple have a similar service that they charge for called 'Mobile Me'?
 
great thread, as a new android user very useful.
I will add the Audible app, which is what finally made me switch over from the pre
 
How about the new Sling app, pretty awesome thing to have is you wanna watch DN or DTV on your phone, provided you're equipped at home first.
 
things i haven't seen mentioned which i've found to be amazing...
c:geo ~ geocaching for Android - Android app on AppBrain
Touiteur (Twitter) - Android app on AppBrain - best twitter app hands down. pro version comes with widget
SilentMode OnOff - Android app on AppBrain ring/vibrate/silent. best widget i've seen yet because it includes all 3. onoff has other widgets, too.

oh and this one
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.vesperaNovus.app.StartupAuditorFree kills stuff you want on reboot. very very useful for gtalk and sprint services, i've found.
 
-Tabbed Out

For anyone in the TX area (Austin, Dallas, Houston) there is an app called Tabbed Out. You open a bar tab with your phone, and then you can pay out with your phone without having to go to the bar again. Works in restaurants that participate too!

It's growing every day and is the most awesome app I've ever seen. Brilliant.
