• app2sd
  why i like? if you have been running out of space on your internal storage? fear not as I give you app2sd a must have for moving your apps over(you can do it yourself within android but this checks for you and sends notifications) and freeing up android systems internal storage for those apps with widgets you have used in your dekstop (which thanks to android can’t by nature be moved over yet.you lose widgets on screen if you try) It even notifies you if the app can be moved (as some won’t you see.Devs still need to add to the app piece of code to allow such a menial task like moving them over ?!:O )
  install app2sd

• voodoocarrierIQ
  

  why i like? source engadget : “Carrier IQ has recently found itself swimming in controversy. The analytics company and its eponymous software have come under fire from security researchers, privacy advocates and legal critics not only for the data it gathers, but also for its lack of transparency regarding the use of said information”
  it basically tells you if your carrier is using said software on your phone -use it once then you could uninstall

• Speaktoit
  why i like?
  if you fancy some iphone siri assistant on your android look no further than Speaktoit, can find things on map,convert, play your music, very conversational, also theres iris (siri spelt backwards! how juvenile young man.. ;   ) does its version of siri;  so both coming along nicely if not surpassing siri already.
  install iris
  install speaktoit

these install links should install direct on your  phone(goes straight to android market place via app!)what else ,, well theres bln (for menu light(those actual real  lighted buttons on your phone) control that flashes them on when a new email/msg/missed call come in etc but it needs a rooted phone .

Theres also fun apps like  onlive for pcgaming on your phone (some games already have touch controls like lego batman, so no need for controller)) !everytrails for gps tracking on the go ,happy  android app hunting now! most have free trials too.

update:

dont want doubletwist bloating on your phone and want all the wifi itunes syncing you could eat ?then try iSyncr Wi-Fi , its better.

been  under the apple rock of late? .. well not to worry cos this beastly phone + ICS(ice cream sandwich) update from the googles is sure to be in your face soon making even the most devout iphone followers fall off their aluminium perch in attention to what is a crazy specced out phone .. and android 4 is looking tight

clever use of ad space ..hmm this could take off minority report style when everyone has a smart device

Performance looks to have dipped a bit , jerks a few too many times . Maybe it needs a hard reboot? Hopefully future updates will not ruin the fluid framerates.

Capcom is one of many companies using in app options as ways for you ,the consumer to consume, beyond the standard game that’s offered for your £59/£1.79 hard earned cash .
Problem is now they are using it as the sole way of playing games in ways which is frankly daylight robbery , take capcoms arcade app for iPhone There are various games to choose from like 1942,ghoulsgoblins and streetfighter2 .
Now as it’s my first go it allows me to play free one game for that day then it stops and asks you to buy tokens, 10 a set for 59 p so that’s ten goes and then I have to buy more just to access the game . Sounds good ?No not really ..in the menus is the option to buy it for 1.79 but thats not obvious at first but really capcom? tokens to purchase just to play per game? I thought you were better company than this ,sad thing is thanks to nostalgia alot of people will pay those tokens for a while till they realise they can actually buy it and even then once that rubs off you’ll notice poor framerates dodgy controls ,(even on an iphone4 ). Which is just unacceptable .

Love the original sf2 arcade sound tracks faithfully reproduced but still don’t think it does my phone/game justice and they need to realise these classics deserve better treatment .After all those game titles got them to where they are today.
ps. also its not very classy having ads for money loans in the app !
