A friend asked for recommendations, and I thought I’d post them here in case anyone is interested.
Aldiko – free book reader
Google anything – all the Google apps are good
Flash, if you’re running 2.2
RoboDefense is fun
Pandora for music
LivoPro is a good voice recorder
MapDroyd if you want maps that are available when you have no internet connection
ColorNotes – a post-it note app
Advanced Task Manager – to shut down apps that are taking up too many resources (rarely necessary, but handy for when you need to)
Compass
Advanced Ruler
Bubble (a level app)
c:geo – a geocaching ap
Zombie, Run! – cute game-ish thing
Labyrinth Lite – maze ball thingy
Hangman
Abduction – beam cows up to your alien spaceship
Movies – the best “what’s playing” app I’ve found
Discovery – discovery channel videos
NPR News
Cubed – the best music app I’ve found
I haven’t found many games/fun apps that I really enjoyed. I loved Plants vs Zombies on the iPhone – I want to see an Android game that I can get addicted to!
Yellow Lasers (just drift through it the first time, then listen again paying careful attention to the lyrics. The studio version is much better, but there is only a teaser online for free.)
(If you want to hear the full version of most any of these, a YouTube search will find a bunch of really awful fan-made videos which you can ignore as you listen to the tunes.)
