Post your suggestions here. Games, utilities, etc.

Once it starts filling up, I will move it to the LTF for permanent reference.
 
Yelp really came in handy when I was in NYC.

Enabled GPS on my phone and could tap Bars on the touchscreen and a list would pop up with distance, reviews, and a map to the location.
 
as far as games go, it starts and ends with Angry Birds

DO NOT download Paper Toss, it will share private information about you with 3rd-party advertisers

Essentials for Android:
ASTRO
Advanced Task Killer
Barcode Scanner
GasBuddy
Google Voice

for Android.

For those with kids: Angry Birds and Magic Marker...

I got tons more but my attention span is zero right now. Sorry NFA...
 
Angry Birds

its like an instant addiction to crack.

Though, I've been stuck on 6-12 for about two weeks now and have almost given up.
 
Some nice Android Apps . . .

ADW Launcher
Android Agenda (great calendar widget that syncs with Google Calendar)
gTasks (syncs with Google Tasks)
Google Goggles
Barcode Scanner
Lookout
Astro File Manger
Chrome to Phone

Z4Root (for rooting Droid X and other assorted Droids)
Titanium Back-Up (gets rid of crapware and backs up apps and data)
 
No love for Shazam or SoundHound?

All these apps needs my face on 'em...




The Comcast Infinity app I just got has potential too.

PS Express is handy.

Talking Tomcat is fun with kids or drunks. iSamJackson is a waste because it's all prerecorded. Would be awesome if it worked like TomCat.

Redbox

Two most frequently used are Weather Channel and ESPN ScoreCenter

...And let's hold a moment for the Chipotle app....
 
The apps I use the most....

Pandora, Directv, euchre, where, metromix, Twitter, facebook, flixster, the chive, zynga poker
 
I love the Xfinity app. I can change the frikken channel...

...on my DVR with my ipod. Not to mention the fact I can set up recordings and listen to voicemail.

Xfinity mobile + the Xfinity VT app are where it's at.

Do you have the 'Seasons' version too?

the XMas Advent calendar has just 2 more levels to beat, but of course you cant unlock them til Midnight (Pacific time!) of their respective date

On the regular version I'm currently on 5-3, had to start over from 1-1 last week due to new phone. I've lost a lot of sleep trying to beat certain levels
 
No on the holiday birds...

I'm frustrated enough with the regular version.

I'm sure 6-12 is pretty easy, though I can't seem to figure it out. Frankly, I'm not sure I want to invest more time in it either.
 
HeyTell - its like a mix between texting and talking (it saves 'chirps')

Its pretty simple... you use it like a walkie-talkie and then it goes to the recipient in the form of a text notification. Once they open it, they hear it. If the app is already open, it just auto-plays the voice message.

Its not realtime like a phonecall, but that has its advantages. For example, I was having a conversation with a buddy of mine while eating lunch... which allowed me to chew and swallow my food, and formulate a response in my head before replying. and its much faster than texting, plus you can detect the tone of their voice (important for sarcasm).
