What’s on Your Android Phone?

The release of Android 2.2 (Froyo) and going on vacation inspired me to try dumping my Crackberry altogether and just using the Nexus One fulltime. All in all it’s been working out quite well.

I’ve also been adding apps like a demon. Here’s the current list:
Adobe Flash
Adobe Reader
Advanced Task Killer
AIM
ASTRO File Manager
AT&T myWireless
Barcode Scanner
CaltrainDroid
CardioTrainer
Compass
DoubleTwist
Dropbox
Foursquare
Gowalla
Last.fm
NewsRob
OpenTable
Photoshop.com Mobile
Ringdroid
Shazam
Shopper
The Weather Channel
Tripit
Urbanspoon
WordPress

And for fun:
Android LightSaber
Bubble
Bump
iVuvuzela
Jewels
Magic 8-Ball

Even better? Every single one of those apps are free (note that DoubleTwist is currently “free for a limited time”, YMMV).

Plus there’s the built-in apps, some of which are new or significantly improved in 2.2, including the email and gmail clients, calendar, Navigation, Voice Search, and the Google Sky Map.

The only things I miss from my Blackberry are the battery life and the real keyboard, and with any luck there’ll be more Androids with keyboards out this fall.

  1. I share several items you have including Barcode Scanner, Foursquare, OpenTable and Tripit. For useful apps, I would add EverNote. I have Yelp but its quickly falling out of favor with me.

    For fun, my primary entertainment is Nesoid, which is a totally awesome NES emulator for us old skool geeks.

  3. I’m heavy on the Paramedic/emt apps – ePocratres, iTriage, Glasgow coma scale, APGAR, First Aid – all incredibly helpful! I’ve got BBC news’s widget running, with the weather channel widget, and FaceBook. I love humor so I’ve got Randon Lolcat, Epic Fails, Demotivator, Calvin & Hobbes. LOVE Google Sky!! I’ve got the current earthquake widget as well that I really like and I have a flashlight app that really comes in handy. YouTube widget – very handy.

    Seesmic (twitter)
