    Favorite Android/iPhone Apps?

    I'm still new to the smart phone scene, so I thought it would be interesting to see what apps everybody loves/uses. Here's what I've been playing with on my phone recently


    ShopSavvy
    - Product bar code scanner, looks up the best price online for any bar code you scan

    Shazam
    - Records/identifies the song that you're listening to

    Flashlight
    - Turns your screen completely white and maximum brightness. It works pretty well

    What The Doodle
    - Online Pictionary game. Pretty addicting

    AndroidVNC
    - Control my PC via VNC

    shazam is awesome. never ceases to amaze me with some of the things i ask it to id and it picks em up.

    papertoss = addictive.

    taximagic - finds a cab closest to your location and calls them for you.

    hopstop - awesome for cities like manhattan/chicago/boston where you do a lot of walking. gives you walking directions from mappoint to mappoint. you can also choose rail, subway, bike, bus, etc. it'll tell you for instance- south two blocks, take #7 train, etc. it's only for the major metropolitian cities tho.

    yelp - foodie reviews for every city

    scrabble - duh

    pandora - must have.

          Key Ring = reproduces the barcodes on those reward cards, gym cards, etc. that you attach to your key ring, so you just scan your phone instead. Very handy!

                  For you android folks, I installed the ShapeWriter keyboard a few days ago, and I am really digging it. Rather than typing each key, you just drag your finger around the keyboard, and it uses word prediction to insert the correct word.



                  Takes a bit of getting used to, but having used it for a few days, I find it much faster than regular typing. I gather it's available for iPhone as well, but I've not tried it on that platform just yet...

                      Wow. Sounds like plenty of cool apps for me to check out if I ever get into the iPhone thing. Some of those sound really killer.
                      Shazam
                      ShopSavvy
                      Flashlight
                      Key Ring

                      Those sound very cool.

                        I just installed this and it's WAY cooler than "pretty cool" You just point your phone at the sky and it renders a map of all the planets/stars/constellations/nebulas/etc that you're looking at. I'm standing in my house walking in circles with my phone over my head wishing it weren't so cloudy outside

                            For the iphone, the 2 games i always come back to are zombieville and minigore, well worth checking out.



                            Follow the journey of John Gore as he wanders in the strange world of Hardland. Available now on iPhone and iPod touch!

                              Glad you like it! It was awesome in the summer time when it was warm out and I could actually stand being outside for longer than 15 mins intervals haha.
