Dragon, Fly! is cute =3

Not especially, but here's a little tip.

If you buy an app or game from the market, try it out right away, because if you decide that you dont like it and uninstall it from your phone within 15 minutes, your money will be refunded.

Good to know!

Good:

Apps that sucked:

I haven't found any decent weather apps. I gave The Weather Channel and Weatherbug a try and they both crash a lot. Instead I just use the internet.

HeyTell is a walkie-talkie app that records short sound files and sends them over the internet. It's apparently useful when you have decent wifi but no phone service. I have never gotten it to work.

Other ideas:
I have a screen to the right of my home screen full of bookmarks. Work email, Accuweather, local newspaper, CNN, my LJ, my Flickr, FA, etc.

Maaaan I know all about Pandora, but I'm in Canada, so I can't use it.

Thanks for all the tips though!

WordFeud - fun Scrabble-type game. You can play with a random person or build a list of friends and send game requests.

I use an app called Transit Now Toronto to find out when the next bus is arriving. I am not sure whether it keeps track of the buses via GPS or just has the online bus schedule (ie: the next bus will arrive in 4 minutes, because it is 8:01 and the schedule says it will be here at 8:05). For GPS information, use www.nextbus.com.

GoSMS is a good SMS app that replaces your default Messenger. Customizable, AND you can add music and custom ringtones. You can't do that with the default Android Messenger.

BUMP: A vibration-sensitive app that lets your fistbump with another BUMP user and automatically exchange contact information. Kinda fun and lazy way of getting someone's phone number.

Antivirus: made by AVG. Works great.

Wizard Memo: I was disappointed that my Android phone didn't have an Organizer or a Memo pad, but my old phone did. Lame. This app lets you make notes and memos, with a cool background that looks like a pad of paper.

DI Radio: Digitally Imported Android app. Lets you stream music from DI.fm on your phone.

Trillian/Skype: For messaging.

Glow Hockey: This is the air hockey game that you played at my house over the weekend.

As a nearly two year android user, I'll make my suggestions.

Note: You need to know what version of android you have. For example, if you have an Android 2.2+ phone, or a dual-core phone, you do NOT need a task killer, like Advanced Task Killer. They do NOT save battery. (Explanation: http://lifehacker.com/5650894/ )

Automation

Juice Defender: True battery saving through triggers, conditions, and apps. Review: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/juiced.....oid-device-16/
https://market.android.com/details?......juicedefender

Tasker: Full automation control of your Android. Expensive, but totally worth it.
https://market.android.com/details?.....ndroid.taskerm

Communication

GoSMS Pro: Free SMS replacement that really gives you everything you need, including backup and other services.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gosms

imo.im: I used Trillian for a while, but imo is fantastic. Even includes Steam support, and it's free!
https://market.android.com/details?......android.imoim

Skype: The original Skype app is needed for video, but it's very well built now.
https://market.android.com/details?.....m.skype.raider

Reading

ReadItLater: Great to save stuff to "read later" instead of bookmarking. Also increases readability.
https://market.android.com/details?.....&hl=en

Kindle/Nook: Take your pick if you like either.

Aldiko: Free ePUB reader, along with access to other book stores.
https://market.android.com/details?.....aldiko.android

https://market.android.com/details?......slacker.radio

Security and Utilities

Avast! Mobile Security: Hands down, the best AV software ever. Completely free, has everything you need, and includes embedded Anti-theft (best with root), that can help you recover your phone, or nuke it from afar. Read the review, then install it. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0.....y-for-android/
https://market.android.com/details?.....mobilesecurity

Titanium Backup: Needs root and is paid, but is awesome for backing up applications and their data. Also nifty for managing game saves.
https://market.android.com/details?.....TitaniumBackup

ES File Explorer: File and network explorer with support for archives, moving things around, ZIP files, FTP, search, root explorer, and many other features. Free, and totally worth it.

https://market.android.com/details?.....velup.touiteur

Tweetdeck: Still a great choice for Twitter, FB, Foursquare, and Buzz, all rolled into one, multicolumn environment, and it's free.

Games
(Note: Almost every iOS game that is worth playing is on Android too, including Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja, PvZ, Fruit Ninja, and even GTAIII. I'll give you a few games that may not be obvious.)

Amazon Appstore: Always a free, paid app of the day available, and lots of games come from here.
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b.....ode=2350149011

Game Dev Story: All of the "Story" games are damn fun simulations, and is extremely fun.
https://market.android.com/details?.....oid.gamedev3en
