Cool! I've been looking for something exactly like this.

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

I want to get an android so i can use this:

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

So is this HTC Desire HD supposed to be the new hot shit? What carrier is it going to be on?

Also here's a dumb question, but the one thing I love is being able to get my gmail instantly on my blackberry, gmail servers are doing whatever blackberrys do to push your email instead of polling for it.

Can you get your email instantly (I mean within seconds of it getting to your gmail account) on an android? Or do you have to have a gmail app constantly running in the background polling every 5 minutes or whatnot and draining your battery?

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

Yeah, the email is pretty damn quick. I always get it on my phone way before Thunderbird realizes it's out there

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

Do you have to have the gmail app always running? The blackberry has whatever so you just add the account and it shows up, I never have to start the gmail app that I have installed, unless I want to search my archived email.

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

Yeah, it's always running. I'm not sure if you can cancel it, but I think you're putting too much thought into it :)

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

probably right...

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

I installed the ShapeWriter keyboard a few days ago, and I am really digging it. Rather than typing each key, you just drag your finger around the keyboard, and it uses word prediction to insert the correct word.

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

I love Plants vs. Zombies and especially World of Warcraft Mobile Armory which helps me keep track of my characters, access the Auction House, plan my adventures, and keep up with the activities of my guild. :) [URL="http://iphoneapplicationlist.com/app/id321057000/#reviews#ixzz18Eg3dJEi"][/URL]

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

I think I've finally found my fav keyboard.

[url]http://www.swiftkey.net/[/url]

The keyboard layout for this is def much nicer than the evo 4g default layout. The text prediction for this is the best ive seen. Ive been able to type full sentences without even so much as typing the first letter or two of each word, and it actually is analzying my sentence to see what I should type next, it is very nice. Def going to buy this and I think this is my new default keyboard.

It doesn't sound much different from all of the other keyboards out there, but the text and sentence analyzing in addition to the easy 3 word choices at the top of the keyboard to choose from makes this great.

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

I've finally jumped on the Android platform, need to dig through this thread. Since I have an unlocked device, I'm not carrier trapped, does anyone know how to go about installing version 2.3?

Been messing around with Tasker for Android lately, and it is fucking amazing.

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

I just created my first Android app. All it does is loads a random artist from our DJ Database and display their name/photo. It's pretty basic but it was proof of concept just to see how far I could get... and I got there :o:

I want to make something big but have no ideas :lol: :(

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

Pickle,

Here's a challenge for you. With the NCAA Tourney coming up, I've been looking for an app that will automatically perform the calculation for you to determine when a game is out of reach that was developed by Bill James. Here's how you do the calculation:

-Take the number of points one team is ahead. -Subtract three. -Add a half-point if the team that is ahead has the ball, and subtract a half-point if the other team has the ball. (Numbers less than zero become zero.) -Square that. -If the result is greater than the number of seconds left in the game, the lead is safe.

[url]http://www.slate.com/id/2185975/[/url]

I guess you'd just need to have a way to input either the current score or the current point spread, whether the team leading has the ball, and the number of seconds left, and just have it run through the formula and crank out a result.

Is that doable?

:p

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

You want me to watch every basketball game and input all the scores for you just so you can get alerted to take a breath? :lol:

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

That hadn't even occurred to me, but if you could, yeah, that'd be awesome. Thanks! ;)

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

I've messed around a tiny bit with making an Android app. I think I will try this weekend to make my first, maybe a Charlie Sheen Soundboard.

Re: Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

Hows that going to go? All the options will be "lets do a line off your [insert body part]

Actually there are already a bunch out. And tons of good material to to choose from:
