The motorola droid in all its glory!
Droid is here, and along with it comes new possibilities, experiences, and most importantly new apps!!! After getting the motorola droid and playing around with it for a month now here are my favorite apps! These are essential!
How where they judged?
Well the apps where based on the following criteria:
- Price
- Wow factor (the kind that you can brag to your friends with lol)
- GUI
- If it has any real application (not just a gimick)
- originality
- how fun it is!
My Top 10 apps!
Facebook App-
You knew this one was coming. I use this program every single day… multiple times a day. It is extremely light, fast, and free!!!
Gps Navigation
This is where things get awesome with the droid. I purchased a top of the line GPS 2 years ago for $350, it is now obsolete with the droid. Not only that but the GPS app on the droid has 10x the features!!
Shop Savvy
Shop savvy in my opinion is half flare, and half functionality! What does it do? You can take a picture of a barcode and it will display the lowest prices in the area and online!! so cool!!!
Google Goggles
Google goggles takes the shop savvy concept a little further. You can take a pic of anything and goggles will scan it, and then display listings, options, or ratings. It is new so I have found it works great with logos but not everything. It does plenty more though check it out here!
Twidroid
When you first get droid you will be torn between using the browser, or using apps to access certain websites. This is one of those times, and the app wins in this case. Twidroid is a light, no bs twitter app that is amazing – go get it!
Snes/Gensoid lite
I put “lite” up because these do cost money, however the lite versions are free. I have to say that the snes emulator is a little better then the genesis emulator but still they are both great! They even allow you to search for roms within the program! wow!
Last.fm/pandora
Well if you are a last.fm fan, or pandora fan grab one of these. Both are amazing – However if you don’t have a last.fm account grab the pandora app as the last.fm app relies heavily on your music taste from your pre-existing account.
Photoshop mobile!
This is an amazing app. Its easy to use, very robust, and free! Its exactly what you think it is lol.
Sportstap
For the diehard sports fan there is sportstap. Following your favorite team was never so easy!
Rings Extended
you may think the droid can do anything.. but it really can’t. Try changing your ringtone, notification noises, etc and it will become immediately apparent. However, this program basically allows you to regain full control over your phones “noises” lol.
