Curious Android App Choices

Ask David Jakes a question and he’ll tell you about something you don’t know…at least, that is how it worked for me! My question was, “What are your favorite Android OS (phone) apps?” This is a question of interest since it’s far easier to tweet and ask someone what their favorite apps are than to search through the zillions that are out there all by yourself (time-consuming but fun, I mean).

While you can find my list here, which I update constantly, I was pleasantly surprised by his responses:

  1. Layar, an Augmented Reality Browser – This is described on the web site as “a free application on your mobile phone which shows what is around you by displaying real time digital information on top of reality through the camera of your mobile phone.”
  2. EverNote – which is a web clipping service I haven’t quite gotten into yet.
  3. ShapeWriter – an app that works off gestures you make that allow you to write. Regrettably, gesture work isn’t for me (I hated it on the Palm handhelds that I had a chance to work with).
Still, two out of three great suggestions works for me…and for others, all of the suggestions may be great!

In a related conversation, Dorieglynn (doriedance via twitter) points out some of her favorite Android Apps that she’s using on her HTC Hero:
  • CardioTracker
  • EEBA
  • Advanced Task Killer
Of these choices, EEBA is the most curious. One of my colleagues at work keeps her budget in envelopes. Part of the process is using clear tape to ensure the envelopes are durable and last throughout the month. Easy Envelope Budget Aid (EEBA) takes the envelope out of the equation…pretty neat!
