Recommended Android Apps

Updated the list for Android 2.2 and the new T-Mobile G2 I'm using.

Screebl - Deactivates screen timeout when you hold the phone like you're reading it. You don't have to keep tapping the screen to keep the phone awake. Why is this not in the system prefs?

Launcher Pro - Customize everything about your homescreens. Change effects. Add/remove screens.

Pandora - Streaming music. Awesomesauce.

Seesmic - Twitter, Facebook, and Google Buzz client. Nice Android integration and lots of features.

Meridian - Slick and fast music and video player.

Aldiko - eBook reader. Reminds me of Delicious Library

Bump - Bump phones together to exchange contacts, photos, and apps.

Wapedia - Scaled down Wikipedia browser

Calorie Counter - Diet/Exercise/Weight tracker and can scan the barcode of what you're eating. Syncs with their website.

Movies - Find out what movies are playing nearby, theater times, buy tickets

Call Filter
- Block unknown numbers, spam numbers, numbers not in contacts, or anybody else who you don't want calling.

Doggcatcher - Pulls in audio & video podcasts and has tons of options.
