Windows 7: Best android apps

Prof Kerfuffle · 14 Oct 2010

What are the best android apps? There are some good apps out there, here are some of my favourites;

Spotify (£10 - Month)
Dolphin Browser HD
Flash (useful but not a real app)
Ebuddy Messenger
arcMedia
taskiller full (£0.70)

I will be ditching Symbian and will go for the HTC Dezire as soon as I have some cash.
I want to use Android. I may get one by beginning of next year.

There are some cool ones out there, but it would be really cool if Motorola would update the Cliq (Dex) up to Andriod 2.x
While they are at it, make the stupid phone drain less battery, work faster, etc.

I am sorely disappointed with my phone, and will never buy another Motorola (this was their second chance).

You don't need a task killer for Android. People need to stop treating it like Windows and ditch any task killers they're using. Here's a diagram that explains why:

Must have apps:

Chrome-to-Phone
ASTRO
Dropbox
SDMove
Root it and get SetCPU to set CPU speed profiles.

I will keep that in mind.

I have had good experiences with Samsung phones too.

All Android phones are prone to fairly short battery life. Normal usage on mine - sending texts, phone calls, Internet browsing gets a full day out of mine at most, and that's a HTC Desire.

I expected that, being a smartphone.

But mine has had random days where it lasts significantly more or less.

Yea, same with mine. There is a calibration thing you can do, where you charge it to full, turn the phone off and charge it for another hour. Unplug it, turn it on for 2 minutes, turn it off and charge it for another hour, then turn it on and use it. Might just be a placebo effect, but it seemed like it lasted significantly longer.
