thought id make a post instead of replying to others all the time.

what are you top ten apps on your phone so we can see what we have or what we are missing.

not sure it it been done before but if it has it can be an updated thread as aps change.

mines fairly new so might not be the best but

mine are:

applanet (sure you all know what this is)

app 2 sd (moves apps to sd card instead of using phones space)

barcode scanner (again obvious but i like how you can scan apps online ad download them with it)

skyfire web browser (supports flash video for phone that dont have it)

beebplayer (iplayer clone and it works)

fotmob pro (football scores and news, live notification service)

dish pointer pro (obvious im sure)

drop box (online storage, move from pc to phone and vice versa)

sky map (point it at the sky on a clear night and see the stars, planets ect...names and positions)

titanium backup (essential esp if you like to update your rom)

tapatalk (forum software)

y5 battery saver (turns wifi off when your not in a wifi area youve not been connect to)

logmein (log in to your home pc.)

msn pro (like normal msn)

360live (xbox 360 account online)

shortcut tab to tv catchup (obvious)

ok maybe more than ten there but there the main ones i have along with the usual apps already on them.

so what you got have i missed any good ones or is there any of mine you dont have but now would consider getting.

Re: your top ten apps for andriod?

drop box for me, i use this app to get tvshows, movies etc accross my network or via 3g, very handy if ive not got quiet enough room on the phone to put the latest tv shows on - i stream or download them when i have room when out and about.
you can get the apk of the market
and heres an invite
http://db.tt/bmkUZtl

the free version is limited to 2gb of space - there is a payed for version but ive found 2gb more than enough.


games,
the immortal robo defence, and of late the overly addictive game dev story...... aggghhh runined many hours....

for video playback its the excellent vplayer, rock box is to expensive and tied to your phone which people including myself have struggled to get it exchanged to a new phone adios....

i dont do music to much but audiobooks is my habbit, audible app is really one of the best betas ive used in a long while except it wont play my mp3 audiobooks, for that mort audiobook player is an excellent suppliment.

those few things keep my intrest most of the time, i play with other bits and pieces but find o return to these apps all the time.
 
Rom Manager
SetCPU (For OverClocked Kernels)
Better Terminal Pro
Astro Pro (File Manager)
CoPilot (Navigation, not tried others, miss TomTom)
XBMC Remote (Yes still a Fanboy!)
Enigmanoid (Dream Remote)

Surprised how good beebplayer is on my Wildfire, thanks Thommo for the prompt I hadn't bothered to install until your post.

tbh there's so much crap out there it's hard to find anything really useful I find.
 
Enigmanoid (Dream Remote)

quality that mate, just downloaded it from applanet and it works great on my dm 800!

cheers!
 
well thats why i put the thread up, theres loads of shite out there and you can miss good apps, if we post what we have we find out whats worth having.

glad you got beebplayer something you didnt have and im glad you posted the dream control one as im off to find that right now.
 
fast uninstaller
advanced task killer
better keyboard
bbc footy focus
live holdem pro
angry birds

only just started getting properly into android after i stuck an android rom on my girlfriends htc hd2 which was windows mobile, was for sale but not now with android on the phone is absolutely amazing!
