With Android 2.2 installed on my Nexus One along with Flash 10.1, I can now stream audio straight from radio station websites. Only problem is that you have to leave the browser as the active window, otherwise the audio stops.

Very nice update to the operating system!

Bluetooth voice dialing is a feature in Froyo - fingers crossed that you get it on your Droid soon.

Thanks for the Bubble suggestion...finally something that has impressed my troglodyte husband that my Droid is cool :)

How much was that?

Wirelessly posted (Blackberry8700c: BlackBerry9630/5.0.0.643 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/105)

89 £ in London but now on backorder. I'm assured it'll come in by the 31st.

Thanks swype works well

Sipdroid has gotten even better - now supports HD video SIP calling with the newest 1.5 version

http://sipdroid.googlecode.com/ (click on the downloads tab)

There is the built in Email app that let's you connect to your corporate emai service, Outlook being the client piece. After you set this up you can launch the Corporate Calendar app. This will show all you appt. that you would see in Outlook.

Then you must show him the "Metal Detector" app as well. :D:D:D

Goodness
 

Is this for real? This will make him crazy with envy! Thanks for the tip!

Hi guys, thanks for keeping the apps coming.

Re. Android/iPhone apps and FlyerTalk - I never noticed FT getting a plugin for TapaTalk.
Now Tapatalk's recent updates have meant it fails to open on my HTC Magic (still stock ROM on 1.5; no official update available as promised to 2.1 yet :()

Anyone using TapaTalk or do you find using a browser like Dolphin is good enough?

PS Thanks, Scott, for making these Apps threads sticky.

I hated using tapatalk, drove me nuts

LauncherPro Beta is pretty cool

Air Traffic Control Status US Lite version available!
 

I was fortunate to be able to beta test this application a while back. The developers have released a lite version of the application if you want to try it out before buying (though the Google Market lets you try apps for 24 hours if you cancel the purchase). This version is not crippled except for the widget refresh rate is fixed (i.e. changing the default configuration will have no effect) and it has advertisements (so clicking on the ads gets them some pennies).

With the latest v1.3 release (full and lite) clicking on the widget will put up a window that lists all the current FAA reports which is handy when we have really bad weather days and one just wants to see everything at once.

Also, the developers are pretty responsive if you email them or leave comments at their blog. I've been testing a number of the releases and have been very happy with the results.

I quite like the Tricorder - and for me it's even useful at identifying where I may get more interference with my hearing aids!

It's also lots of fun.

App that prevents phone loss
 

I have this great app called Phone Halo. It comes with a tracking device I can put on my keys or briefcase and the keys and tracking device ring if I leave one behind. The app has prevented me from leaving my phone behind several times. I bought the system at http://www.phonehalo.com/

Good timing! I've got one heading this way in the mail to review. Product looks very promising - can't wait to get my hands on it.

Free traffic app
 

The free traffic app has never let me down...accurate info about expressway "incidents" and how fast traffic is moving...a must in major metro areas!

INRIX TRAFFIC

For non-major cities that have no traffic data Waze works well if there are enough Waze users. It also does turn by turn, voice navigation.

For those of you that the Swype application expired, you can get the new one here

Thanks JFE!

Swype Beta
 

Go to this link http://beta.swype.com/

Here's the article from PC World that directed me there.

the latest Swype beta is far, far better than the old one. Way to go Swype!

I continue to like Sipdroid more and more. The phone quality is fantastic - easily better than regular landline calls here in the UK. Even over 3G and EDGE the voice quality is perfectly satisfactory. A+

I've been playing around with Citrix Receiver. Allows me to connect to my company's Citrix farm. You'll need to have external Citrix access or some way to VPN to your corporate network from the phone first.

Haven't seen DriveSafely mentioned yet. Have a look at www.DriveSafe.ly
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)

Paid version allows you to hear up to 500 words, choose voice, enables voice command and some other stuff.

One bug is that it starts my media player after every call :confused:

Shazam, Shop Savvy and Google Maps/Google Sky Maps. I'm also somewhat addicted to RoboDefense.

Lots of my favorites have been mentioned, but I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Flight Director ($1.99). It's a totally addictive game that has you landing planes (don't let them crash into each other!) on Google Earth maps of real airports.

I am going to try the Sling Player next week, as I am upgrading my slingbox :)

You are going to love it. We've been using it extensively to watch the World Cup over 3G on the ATT network and it has been extremely stable. Compared to SPM on my iPhone 3G it is loads better in terms of video quality from the same location on 3G.

Drync Wine Pro for Android Released!
 

Drync Wine Pro for Android has been released! Please check it out and rate it on the Android Market. http://bit.ly/drync_droid

Thanks. I did get a reply to my question on the developer's site over the weekend. Now it's installed. :)

Note that there is a free and a paid version (Australia does not get paid apps on the Android Marketplace for some odd reason. Not important enough dollarwise to bother including us?)

I've been blown away by RockPlayer these past couple weeks.
http://www.diffthink.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4

It's the only player I've seen on any mobile platform of note that can play Divx, AVI and MP4 video all at once. Nothing on the iphone can do this, period.

This isn't a big deal to most consumer users but it's a godsend for those of us that have ripped our DVD collections or download things off the torrent networks. Now you can simply copy files over rather than worry about transcoding and format.

This, with a 32GB microSDHC card, is HEAVEN on long trips now and one of the key "little things" that has made me turn away entirely from the iphone platform. It's unlikely Apple will ever support Divx (at least not in the next year or two), so this saves me many hours of frustrating one-off transcodes.

Had no idea - crazy. Well - if you have any feedback let me know... will be adding features over the upcoming months. Thanks!

I installed the sling player, and it's awesome

I have three inputs working right now

Directv
LG Blu Ray player with Netflix
OTA Antenna

Which means, I can watch all my recorded programs on my DVR, plus I can watch netflix on the phone, which is awesome

Now, I just need to find a wired camera with an S-Video output that has night vision, and I am all set

Handcent SMS - I like it much better than the default Messaging.

Flashlight (flash-the-brain) came in quite handy last night during a power outage. I had tried a couple others but they really didn't work on the Nexus One. This one is pretty good.

I like TeslaLED flashlight a lot since it uses the LED and not the screen, but it only works on rooted Nexus Ones, or on non-rooted Froyo.

We do get paid Android Marketplace apps here in Australia - but perhaps it's only for Android 2.0 and up? BiziBB has a Android 1.5 phone, from memory. Mr Falconea and I have the HTC Desire which is Android 2.1. Mr Falconea has bought several apps.

Just wanted to correct any misconception.

Language Translator
 

Hi; What have folks found to be the best speech-to-speech language translator to use when traveling? I tried "Talk To Me Classic", and it was extremely buggy, did a poor job of understanding my words, and kept locking-up the Droid. Tried "Translate", and is better, but you seem to be only to speek to it in English (would be nice if when I ask someone in far-off spots a question, they could talk into the translator and it tells me in English what they said. Thanks in advance :)
