Five Must Have Application For Android
T-Mobile G1
Twidroid: If you’re a twitter’er and you’re in love with your T-Mobile G1, there is no better Twitter Application than Twidroid. Although the name might take a little tongue twisting to get out the program rocks. It allows you to upload geo-tagged photos and customize how frequently you want to check for updates, or even on demand. This is actually crucial because the G1 isn’t exactly what you would call long on battery life.
The Weather Channel: Waiting for summer is brutal. The Weather Channel app lets you check weather in multiple locations so, since it’s 30 degrees and snowing here, I can at least pretend I’m in Hawaii. The application also loads radar maps so you can prepare for the snow and rain. A frequent worry if you’re in Ohio this time of year.
SnapPhoto: The G1 camera is…. horrid. If it isn’t a bright sunny day, it usually isn’t worth trying to take a picture, until SnapPhoto. SnapPhoto offers a plethora of customization and filters. The biggest helper for non-fuzzy photo taking is the stabilization feature. It uses the G1’s accelerometer to judge when the most stable time to take the picture is.
GPS Status: Nothings more frustrating than watching the GPS satellite icon blink… and blink… and blink. THe GPS Status program shows you how many satellites you’re connected to, the speed you’re moving, latitude and longitude and more. Quite a handy application.
Shop Savvy: We’ve all been there, tempted to buy this or that but wondering if you could get it somewhere else cheaper. Shop Savvy lets you scan items using the camera and bar code, searches local stores and the web for the product and even gives you reviews. Never over pay again. The only catch is that most smaller products aren’t really in there.
