Apps I have on my Blackberry Curve that I will need to have on my new Droid Incredible.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Something weathery.\u00a0 I currently use Weatherbug on my BB, but am not all that wowed by it.<\/li>\n
  2. Gmail (personal).\u00a0 I assume this won’t be a problem with a Droid phone …<\/li>\n
  3. Exchange mail (work). The Incredible appears\u00a0 to be set up to do full ActiveSync with Exchange … but we actually are requiring an additional app for Android phones to allow remote self-destruct of mail data in case the phone falls into the wrong hands.<\/li>\n
  4. Twitter.\u00a0 I currently use TinyTwitter.\u00a0 I’m sure there are several thousand Android Twitter clients …<\/li>\n
  5. Google Talk (see #2).<\/li>\n
  6. Facebook.\u00a0 Well, maybe not.\u00a0 Well, maybe so.\u00a0 We’ll see.<\/li>\n
  7. WordPress.\u00a0 I have the BB WordPress client, but I’ve never actually used it for blogging.<\/li>\n
  8. OpenTable.\u00a0 Because sometimes you need to track (or make) restaurant reservations, oui?<\/em><\/li>\n
  9. LastPass.\u00a0 Because sometimes you need to look up your password on your mobile phone.<\/li>\n
  10. I have no idea what browser the Incredible comes with.\u00a0 I’m currently using Opera Mini 5 (beta 2), but I’m not wed to it. (Actually, 90% of what I look up is Google-based, so I suspect I will be covered in a couple of different directions here, regardless.)<\/li>\n
  11. Google Maps.\u00a0 Um …<\/li>\n
  12. Yahoo! Messenger.\u00a0 Not sure I need this, actually, since I roll over to SMS \/ Texting when not signed into YIM at the office.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And that’s pretty much what I have on my BB.\u00a0 I hear there are some dozens additional apps for Android phones, many of them of reasonable cost.\u00a0 I suspect I will have to look into those.<\/p>\n

    N.B. I appreciate HTC trying to be very positive about their product, but, dudes, calling a phone “Incredible” is, even if accurate, not a good idea. The gods always punish hubris.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
