\"\"<\/a>So my friend Kate just got a new Android 2, and I offered to send her a list of the apps I use on my HTC Incredible (in hopes that she’ll do the same as she runs across something cool).<\/p>\n

Then, having compiled the list, I realized I should just blog about it, so as to open the list to a broader community.<\/p>\n

(I then managed to open a blog post on top of the list I’d already created, losing it. Stupid Chrome tab management …)<\/p>\n

So here it is. \u00a0The list does not include stuff that came bundled on the Incredible:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Amazon.com<\/strong>: Spiffy little search\/purchase widget for Amazon. Great to carry along with me to Best Buy, etc.<\/li>\n
  2. Battery Widget<\/strong>: A better widget for showing battery life, plus easy control of various on\/off wireless services (WiFi, GFS, etc.)<\/li>\n
  3. BettrFlickr<\/strong>: A better Flickr app than the Official One.<\/li>\n
  4. Dolphin Browser HD<\/strong>: Just installed this the other day, but it looks to be a superior browser to the bundled one. It also supports add-ons, such as LastPass integration.<\/li>\n
  5. Dropbox<\/strong>: Same as the PC app (though by default it just syncs filenames until you say otherwise). Great way to exchange things between PC and phone.<\/li>\n
  6. Goggles<\/strong>: Google Goggles, which does some nice searching, decoding, translating, etc. from images you capture. \u00a0Haven’t found the killer use for it yet, but …<\/li>\n
  7. IMDB<\/strong>: Search IMDB and impress all your friends with your movie trivia knowledge.<\/li>\n
  8. LastPass<\/strong>: My password (etc.) lockbox, synced with my PCs.<\/li>\n
  9. Calorie Tracker by Livestrong<\/strong>: For tracking calories. Syncs with the web site.<\/li>\n
  10. NewsRob Pro<\/strong>: Syncs with Google Reader.<\/li>\n
  11. Seesmic<\/strong>: My current Twitter client of choice.<\/li>\n
  12. TouchDown<\/strong>: Used by our company for Exchange access.<\/li>\n
  13. Wapedia<\/strong>: Wikipedia app.<\/li>\n
  14. Watchdog Lite<\/strong>: Tracks apps for excess memory or CPU usage.<\/li>\n
  15. WifiWidget<\/strong>: Various informative widgets for WiFi usage.<\/li>\n
  16. Y5-Battery Saver<\/strong>: Tracks geographic locations where you signed into a free WiFi hotspot; when you return there, it will turn on WiFi (if it was off) so you can automatically connect again, and when you leave, it will turn the WiFi (if it was off before) back off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I haven’t found any good games yet, but I haven’t looked that hard.<\/p>\n

    Any other suggestions (or comments) out there \u00a0from my Throngs of Loyal Readers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
