Smart Phone Applications

Realcalc

I've tried 'em all, this is the BEST calculator on the market. Also does conversions. Easy to use buttons etc. Looks like a real calc when you have it on the screen.



Google Sky Map. An absolute MUST HAVE app. Hold your phone up like a bar of soap, and it shows you the sky. It works like magic.



Tricorder. As in a Star TRek Tricorder. Makes the use of about every sensor in the phone. Very cool app, and has actual use such as an audio db meter.



Mr. Number Caller ID. You agree to give it permissions to use your phone's contact list. It reaches into a zillion other user's phones to root up the incoming number. Makes 411 services look pathetic, and just about produces all info on who calls even if it's a telemarketer with obscure numbers.

Ultimate Stopwatch. Gorgeous looking analog stopwatch on the screen. Has countdown timers, lap timers, etc. etc.



Call Meter NG. Logs your data, SMS, and calls. Give it a billing start date and quota, and it will show the percentage of call time, SMS's left, and data used in your billing period.



Easyether. Tethers your laptop through the USB cable to wireless connect. This is the ''lite'' version. (To see if it works with your phone or not) You can buy the app for $10. After the trial is over, just won't connect to secure sites. (https: sites)

for my droid-

Advanced Task Killer - manually closes selected programs when not in use

Lookout - anti-virus

United States Constitution - has the entire constitution as well as a number of historic speeches, Articles of Confederation, history behind the constitution, etc

Voice Recorder - great for quick voice notes or documenting a situation.

Colornote - a notepad app

Right2Bear (had to pay $3 for this one) - can look up reciprocity information on concealed carry permits by state - it does leave out some info, mostly pertaining to non-resident permits, and open carry

And a couple sound board apps - Homer Simpson, Evil Dead (Bruce Campbell), and Samuel Jackson


edit: I now also have all the free ones Adondo listed. I like the Tricorder!

I spent a few days with Jay at SEMA and was inpressed with the ability to find local food just by asking for a certain type and then GPS to get there.

My kids got me a Sprint HTC Evo for Christmas. So I downloaded most of the apps that you mentioned here, Adondo.
This phone is pretty amazing.

Bump to see if anyone is using any new apps that they want to share with us!

Here's a few more nice and FREE apps.

Hybrid stopwatch. Cool retro graphics. Also has a countdown timer.


Yellow Pages. The best I've found so far. I uninstalled a couple of others because this one blew them away.


Go SMS. (Text messaging) Makes the built in SMS app look pathetic. It may pop up something about downloading the pro version, do it! It's free too, and has a lot more features.


Radio Ball. A game where you direct a rolling ball thru a tunnel. Nice 3D effects and graphics.


On edit... I just copy the QR code image location... I can't help the spastic sizing. Sorry.

Ship Combat. (The old Battleship game)


I'm going to do links this time.

This one is a handy 1x1 clock widget. I've never seen the point of a clock taking up 50% of the screen space. This black faced clock is easy to see despite it's small size.

Alarm Klock. Has a better looking notification bar icon, and more features than the built in alarm app.

Aix Weather widget. A MUST HAVE weather widget. It's a 1x4 widget that shows the upcoming WX 24 hours ahead, and at a glance.

Dawn to Dusk. Handy 1x1 widget that shows the sun/moon rise/set times and daylight/night time remaining.

Evernote. We use this one at work. Everyone here, from Android, Blackberry, and iPhone users can update our company's note files. We use short notes as job info, how we setup wiring in a dispatch center, and a thousand other things. Keeps things organized, and anyone/everyone can update the database from anywhere there's internet service. Worth its weight in gold.

Batterychecker. A battery gauge widget that looks like a fuel gauge. Clicking the widget pops up analog meters for more battery info.
