Any good apps?

There are built in ways to kill apps and you don't want any program other than the built-in ones doing so.

Unfortunately both Facebook and Skype run at startup and also run even after you have exited these apps. You have to go to settings>applications>running services tap for each app and "force stop" them. Every time.

I would think that with the Bionic this would not be necessary. Plenty of Ram. Also, if an app is in ram, it does not mean that it is running or consuming other resources, battery, etc. It is there so it starts faster when you need it.

You have to kill some apps because they're constantly polling data via LTE if you leave them on. Skype is a prime example of this. If you leave Skype on it'll chew through your battery in no time.
 
Air Attack HD is a fun and addicting game that looks really good on the Bionic's screen. I had it on the D1 and when i played it on the Bionic i nearly S**T my pants.
 
Wireless tether on that 4g connection? I wish I had 4g in my area.

Things that show what this device can do are games. I am having a blast with Plants vs Zombies since I was not able to play it before on my D1 or EA Tetris that would run slow as well on my D1. The both run great now and are great fun.
 
I'm boring but can't live without tapatalk (so I can go to other forums like the one I own), handcent, and calendar pad pro.

The Amazon app store app! (google it for download) They offer a free "paid" app every day and I've scored some great ones!

I didn't read the entire thread, I admit so I don't know if someone commented on this but Skype doesn't run in the background if you click menu, then click exit while in the skype app.
 
Business Calender is great! It just replaced the three apps I was using! Thanks for the recommendation. What does Pro do that this doesn't?
