There is also a co-branded Motorola version called MotoSpeak that only works with Motorola bluetooth devices according to developer.

What it does - reads text messages to you over your bluetooth device and sends canned responses to the sender (you can modify the canned text)
:
Tasker can do this.

Tasker can do this also.

I also have it set to

1) Automatically turn my WIFI on in locations where I know of a known WIFI hotspot
2) Change my phone's volume at night so emails and messages don't wake me up
3) Automatically turn on GPS only when maps applications are open (I don't want other apps using it to pinpoint my location)
4) Automatically prompt me to change my language input when I open a foreign language app
5) Turn off mobile data when I'm at home overnight (in case my WIFI connection dies or we lose power - too often - I don't want my phone using up my data plan when I'm sleeping)
6) Setup a widget to set my screen brightness according to my pre-set levels
7) Change the media volume based on the app that is open and whether or not my headphones are plugged in
8) Turn on desk clock automatically when docked

Thumbs up

If it hasn't already been mentioned. Key Ring is another great app, . It keeps all of your membership numbers & bar codes in a easy to pull up local.

I don't know, but I'd bet Tasker will do the same thing.

Angry Birds, the #1 game in the iTunes store, just came out in beta on Android. It's scarily addictive.

It really is. My iphone using friends had been talking about it for ages, glad to see Android is getting some [late] love from developers.

I too was bummed to hear that Swype is not currently available. But I recently downloaded Shapewriter and it's great.

You can't search and find it but if you scan this qr code it will take you to it.

I just downloaded it. It sort of reminds me of that old DOS game Gorilla. Fun stuff.

I can't find it in the market. A bunch of themes and such, but no games.

Podtrapper is the only Droid App that I have paid for. It's a superb podcast client. Also available on Blackberry.
