If you could only have/recommend 5 APPS ?

[SwordOfWar]

Handcent SMS is best text messaging apparently hands down. A lot of customization

 

[Manhiem]

1. RoboDefense
2. TV.com
3. Layar
4. Shazam
5. Scetch Online (Beta)

Facebook is also on there but that goes without saying.

 

[LordKastle]

What is Layar? Search came up empty in the market.

 

[Utzz]

Layar is an augemented reality browser. If you've used Google Navigation and gone into Street view/Compass view, it's just like that. It shows you the area as if you were standing right there. And when you look around (like physically turn 180*), the phone senses this and turns the phone view to match.

Layar isn't available for the Droid though.

 

[Manhiem]

Noooo, sorry I was a little impatient. I migrated for a G1 to a Droid yesterday. I didn't realize that isn't available yet. That is incredibly disappointing.

 

[blowdryl]

Interesting that it's not, as it says it's available here...
Layar
as well as here...
Android Market
maybe there are issues w/ android 2.0 compatibility so they pulled it for the time being. ??
hopefully we'll see it soon.

edit:
aha, after a bit more snooping, i found this...

Can't believe no one mentioned Locale. I love that app!

If the pre-installed messager came with the options of handcent, I'd be happy. There's something about handcent that I don't like.

ok top 5

Handcent sms
Barcode Scanner
i Music
where
Astro - file manager

And for the person that wanted 20:

Youmail
Weather widgets
unit converter
tv.com
tipper
snaptell (when there is not a bar code just take a picture of the item)
slacker
robo defense
Quick prifiles
Mixzing lite
Google sky map
Bedside clock
Fishin' 2 go
weatherbug
Karl's mortgage calculator

Keeping it to just 20 was hard, I have a lot of apps I don't use a task killer and my phone runs perfect.

Yeah, totally! love this app, too.

I've been using spare parts. At least the transitions are sped up. Not much else, though.

My Top 5, IF I Could Have ONLY 5...

Im sure there is but Im not sure what it is. The site you can get all the ROM's for the games is theoldcomputer.com They have all the NES, SEGA, etc... I would check on there. Im sure they have a link for it

 

[mrredskin]

just d/l handcent. looks promising.

my fav so far has been Key Ring, but haven't tested it out, yet.

calorie counter is nice since you can scan in products you've eaten if they have a barcode, as well. and it lets u track exercise

 

[treo700w]

here are my 5 (x2):

1) touchdown (exchange) - free for 5 days, $9.99 afterwards - it's worth it
2) wifinder
3) advanced task killer
4) astro (file manager)
5) game time lite (nba games)
6) places directory
7) open table (restaurant reservations)
8) ringdroid (ringtone creator)
9) doubletwist (copies music from your itunes to your droid - installs onto your pc)
10) google sky map
